Automatic Updating of Aggregations for Aggregating Data

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions, that when executed, control a computer system to be configured for:

• receiving a specification for aggregating data from processing of beacons, a beacon being associated with an event occurring at a client while a user is interacting with a web application and including unstructured data;
• parsing the specification to automatically generate an aggregation to aggregate structured data that has been converted from the unstructured data;
• storing dependency information for changes to the aggregation;
• analyzing state information and the dependency information to determine when a change in the state information indicates that a change should be made to the aggregation;
• and
• dynamically changing the aggregation based on the analyzing to generate a new aggregation to aggregate different data based on changed information.
