# Ensure that Coveo Usage Analytics click and view events are recorded
> **Important**
>
> This guide provides guidelines to analyze, review, and test different aspects of a Coveo-powered implementation.
> 
> It shouldn't be considered an official, definitive guide to testing an implementation before it goes live, but rather a guide showcasing the basic components that Coveo implementations typically include.
> 
> Every Coveo implementation is different and may require custom configuration.
> 
> Therefore, you may notice discrepancies between the components and features listed in this guide and those you're using in your actual implementation.
> 
> If you encounter issues, or have any questions related to this article, contact [Coveo Support](https://connect.coveo.com/s/case/Case/Default) for help.

## Access your browser's network monitoring tool

. Open your web browser's developer tools.

> **Note**
>
> The examples in this article use the **Google Chrome** developer tools.
> For browser-specific information, see:
> 
> * [Google Chrome](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/open)
> 
> * [Mozilla Firefox](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools)
> 
> * [Safari](https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/safari/sfri20948/mac)

. Select the **Network** tab.

## Test click events

When a click action is performed (for example, clicking a result link), ensure that an appropriate click event is logged.

. Access the page in which you have integrated your search component.

. [Access your browser's network monitoring tool](#access-your-browsers-network-monitoring-tool).

. Perform a click action.

. In the network monitoring tool, under the **Name** column, you should see a request whose path contains `/rest/ua/v15/analytics/click`:

If you aren't logging click events, do one of the following:

* If you're using either the [Coveo Atomic](https://docs.coveo.com/en/lcdf0264/) or Quantic libraries, add the result link component to all of your [result templates](https://docs.coveo.com/en/mc2g0332#test-result-templates).
This component handles click events for you, and shouldn't be removed from your result templates.

* If you're using [Coveo Headless](https://docs.coveo.com/en/lcdf0493/), you should use the [`InteractiveResult`](https://docs.coveo.com/en/headless/latest/reference/interfaces/Search.InteractiveResult.html) controller to handle click events.

> **Note**
>
> If your implementation doesn't rely on any of these UI libraries, see [Open query results](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1372#open-query-results) and [Log click events](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2064/).

## Test view events

To leverage [Coveo Machine Learning (Coveo ML)](https://docs.coveo.com/en/188/) [content recommendations](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1016/), you must ensure that your [search interface](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2741/) logs view events every time a tracked page is opened.

> **Important**
>
> The Atomic and Headless libraries don't send view events automatically.
> You must add code to log view events on every page that you want to be able to recommend through a recommendation interface.
> 
> Depending on how you choose to build your [search interface](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2741/), see:
> 
> * [Coveo Atomic](https://docs.coveo.com/en/atomic/latest/usage/atomic-usage-analytics/atomic-view-events/)
> 
> * [Coveo Headless](https://docs.coveo.com/en/headless/latest/usage/headless-usage-analytics/headless-view-events/)

. Access the page in which you have integrated your search component.

. [Access your browser's network monitoring tool](#access-your-browsers-network-monitoring-tool).

. Reload the page.

. In the network monitoring tool, under the **Name** column, you should see a request whose path contains `/rest/ua/v15/analytics/view`.

> If your implementation doesn't rely on any Coveo search UI library (Atomic, Headless, or Quantic), see [Log view events](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2651/).
