Mixpanel Events Not Showing
Quick answer
Events usually go missing because of the wrong data region endpoint, an ad blocker, hidden events in Lexicon, or report filters. Check the endpoint and Live View first.
Most likely fix: Check the data residency endpoint
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Check the data residency endpoint
- EU projects: set api_host to https://api-eu.mixpanel.com; India: https://api-in.mixpanel.com
- Events sent to the wrong region are not ingested
- Re-test an event after the change

- Add debug: true to mixpanel.init() or run mixpanel.set_config({debug:true}) in the console
- Open the Network tab and confirm /track returns 1
- Remove debug before production
Did this fix it?3. Check Lexicon and filters
- Open Lexicon and unhide the event
- Remove all filters and breakdowns from the report to see if data returns
- Fire the event again so it reappears in dropdowns

Symptoms
Events fire in your app but do not appear in Events, Insights or dropdowns.
Why it happens
- SDK sends to the US endpoint while the project is EU or India
- Ad blocker or Do Not Track blocks requests
- Event is hidden in Lexicon or has not fired in 30 days (hidden from dropdowns)
- Report filters or breakdowns exclude it
- Processing delay for server-side or imported data
