What it is

The Raw hits dataset is the rawest dump: one row per tracking-pixel hit recorded for your space within the window, unfiltered across all event types (page views and everything else). It comes straight off the hits table with no joins.
  • Grain: one row per hit (id).
  • Windowed on: event_time_utc (UTC timestamp).
  • Path segment: raw_hits.
Two things differ from the other raw datasets:
  • Host, path, and query are separate columns (not combined into a single event_url), because path-level grouping is the primary use of page-view data.
  • event_name is locked on — an unfiltered, all-event-types dump would be ambiguous without it.
