Access Dashboard Usage
Usage insights enables you to have a better understanding of how your Algology instance is used.
The usage insights feature collects a number of aggregated data and stores them in the database:
Dashboard views (aggregated and per user)
Data source errors
Data source queries
Dashboard and data source insights
For every dashboard and data source, you can access usage information.
Dashboard insights
To see dashboard usage information, click the dashboard insights icon in the header.
Dashboard insights show the following information:
Stats: The number of daily queries and errors for the past 30 days.
Users & activity: The daily view count for the last 30 days; last activities on the dashboard and recent users (with a limit of 20).
Note: If you’ve enabled the publicDashboards feature toggle, you’ll also see a Public dashboards tab in your analytics.
Data source insights
Data source insights provides information about how a data source has been used in the past 30 days, such as:
Queries per day
Errors per day
Query load time per day (averaged in ms)
To find data source insights:
Click Connections in the main navigation.
Under Your connections, click Data sources.
Click a data source.
Click the Insights tab.
Presence indicator
When you are signed in and looking at a dashboard, you can know who is looking at the same dashboard as you are via a presence indicator, which displays avatars of users who have recently interacted with the dashboard. The default time frame is 10 minutes. To see the user’s name, hover over the user’s avatar. The avatars are based on the user’s email.
When there are more active users on a dashboard than can fit within the presence indicator, click the +X icon. Doing so opens dashboard insights, which contains more details about recent user activity.
Sort dashboards by using insights data
In the search view, you can use insights data to help you find most-used, broken, and unused dashboards.
You can sort the dashboards by:
Errors total
Errors 30 days (most and least)
Views total
Views 30 days (most and least)
Visualize usage insights data
If you set up your installation to export logs of usage insights, we’ve created two dashboards to help you take advantage of this data.
Usage Insights overview provides a top-level perspective of user activity.
Data source details dashboard provides a view of data source activity and health.
You can click the previous links to download the respective dashboard JSON, then import into your Algology installation.
