The AE SDK Integration Q&A Skill is a technical Q&A capability in ThinkingAI's industry Skill library. It helps dev and data teams quickly get precise answers on ThinkingAI SDK integration, event reporting, data format, API calls, LogBus2 configuration, and more. Every answer is strictly based on official docs rather than experience-based guessing, eliminating "I think it works like this" misdirection. This is ThinkingAI's decade of industry experience, packaged into ready-to-use Skills.

Our MMO project's Java server needs to wire up AE reporting this week. We've been using BatchConsumer in the test environment for convenience, and a colleague says production needs LoggerConsumer with LogBus2, but nobody can explain why or how to set it up. Give me an integration checklist I can follow step by step.
Search the 'Consumer selection' section of the official Java SDK wiki docs: based only on the docs, not on experience
Matched the production architecture recommendation and the hard-rule notes
Compare the reliability mechanisms of BatchConsumer and LoggerConsumer
BatchConsumer buffers in memory and risks data loss; LoggerConsumer writes to disk and LogBus2 resumes the upload
Generate a five-step integration checklist, marking each step's artifact and status
Output a LogBus2 daemon.json config template and the matching official doc URLs

Your colleague is backed by the official docs. Conclusion first: use LoggerConsumer + LogBus2 in production and keep BatchConsumer only in the test environment. The difference in one line: BatchConsumer accumulates data in memory and sends it straight over the network, so network jitter or a process restart loses it: comparable projects have measured losses of about 3% of events. LoggerConsumer first writes to a local log on disk and LogBus2 uploads with resumable transfer, so if any link in the chain fails, it can backfill.

2. LogBus2 config essentials

file_patterns must point to the log directory LoggerConsumer actually writes to; a path mismatch between the two is the number-one cause of 'integrated but no data.'
app_id must match the SDK initialization; when multiple projects share one machine, group them within the datasource array.
push_url takes the data receiver address; for self-hosted deployment, use your own receiver domain.
unit_remove auto-cleans uploaded logs by day, so you don't need to write your own log-rotation script.

daemon.json config template (just swap in your project's directory and appId):

json
{
  "datasource": [
    {
      "type": "file",
      "file_patterns": ["/data/te_logs/log.*"],
      "app_id": "demo-appid-9f3e27",
      "unit_remove": "day",
      "offset_remove": 7
    }
  ],
  "push_url": "https://receiver.demo-project.com"
}
Conclusion
Follow steps 1 to 4 on the checklist; step 5 is the pre-launch hard-rule check: disable DebugConsumer in production and call close() before the process exits, or the last batch in the cache is lost. For reference, a project on the same architecture had zero data loss for 2 weeks after switching to LoggerConsumer + LogBus2, while a comparison project that stayed on BatchConsumer lost about 3% of events to network jitter. All of these conclusions come from the official Java SDK and LogBus2 docs, with the relevant section URLs attached to the checklist.
The doc URLs are output with the English-site parameter (lan=en) and can be forwarded directly to whoever handles the integration.

The problem

SDK integration is the first step of data integration and the easiest place to get stuck. More than 50% of developers hit at least one "the docs weren't clear" issue on their first AE SDK integration: initialization parameter order differs across platforms, the server SDK's Consumer choice directly affects data reliability, and misunderstanding the user-identity system fragments user data. When developers search for answers, code snippets in community posts are often based on old SDK versions that don't match the current API signatures, and using them directly throws errors.

What it does

Answers strictly from official docs: every answer is drawn from the AE official wiki, with the source and version noted, never guessed from experience
Covers all platform SDKs: client (Android / iOS / Web / mini programs / Unity, etc.) plus server (Java / Python / Go / Node.js / PHP / C#) plus LogBus2
Bilingual term mapping: Chinese terms (event tracking, common properties, preset properties) map automatically to their English equivalents, supporting Chinese, English, and Japanese Q&A
Contextual follow-ups: supports continuous follow-up questions across initialization, reporting, user properties, and validation without re-describing context each time

When to use it

01

Unsure of initialization parameters and call conventions when integrating the AE SDK for the first time

02

Choosing a Consumer type (LoggerConsumer vs BatchConsumer) and configuring LogBus2 for server-side reporting

03

Unsure of the binding timing and method for distinct_id and account_id when designing the user-identity system

04

Investigating the cause and correct approach when event reporting throws an error

05

Data-format questions: event property types, preset properties, updatable events, first-event validation, and more

In the field

Case
A game project · Java server SDK integration Q&A
The developer was unsure whether to use BatchConsumer or LoggerConsumer. With the AE SDK Integration Q&A Skill, the system clarified from official docs that LoggerConsumer + LogBus2 is recommended for production, and provided a daemon.json config template and the official doc link. After the adjustment there was zero data loss in the first 2 weeks after launch, compared with another project that used BatchConsumer and once lost about 3% of event data to network jitter.

FAQ

Which languages are supported for Q&A?

You can enter Chinese, English, or Japanese, and the Skill replies in the language you use. When the source doc is in Chinese, it is automatically translated into your language.

Do answers include code examples?

Yes. Every answer comes with the corresponding SDK's official code example, ready to copy and use.

How does this differ from the AE Tracking Code Generation Skill?

The integration Q&A answers questions, while code generation produces complete code in one click. The former suits checking issues during integration, the latter suits full generation from plan to code.
