The analytics pipelines are used to manage the Sitecore Analytics events.
They're less frequently customized than the indexing and search pipelines.

## Coveo Analytics Pipelines

These pipelines can be found in the `/configuration/sitecore/pipelines` section of the `Coveo.Analytics.xDB.config` file:

|===
| Pipeline | Purpose | Description | Processors included by default | Is typically customized?

| `coveoAnalyticsPipeline`
| Analytics event processing

| `initializeTracker`
