Apptio BI Usage Monitoring

  • 1.  Apptio BI Usage Monitoring

    Posted Tue May 30, 2023 07:30 PM

    Hi,

    I was wondering if there are any metrics/reports for usage information (no of active users of Apptio BI, reports/dashboards created etc) which are currently accessible for Admin roles in Apptio? Would be also great to see if we can see which of the tables/data sources/fields are used the most to create visualisations and dashboards.

    Thanks

    Hi Rahul,

    Thank you for reaching out with your question. I understand your interest in having metrics and reports for usage information in Apptio BI, specifically related to the number of active users, reports/dashboards created, and the usage of tables/data sources/fields in visualizations and dashboards.

    Currently, we don't offer this specific functionality within Apptio BI. However, we do recognize the importance of providing admins with insights into how content is being used within their organizations. This allows them to effectively manage and maintain Apptio BI by identifying obsolete, duplicated, or unpopular reports.

    While we don't have any plans to implement these features this year, we are actively considering adding more metadata to reports in the future. This could include information such as the last accessed date, number of views, number of subscribers, and potentially the number of active users, etc. We will be assessing the demand for these specific data points from our wider customer base.

    Your feedback is valuable to us, and we appreciate you bringing this up. We will certainly keep you updated on any developments in this area.

    Thank you once again for your post!


    Best regards,

    Curtis

    I am certainly interested in looking at some Apptio BI metrics as well. So far, I have no mean to assess how users are using it?

    Great to hear from you, César! What specific metrics are you looking to track and what are some of the use cases for them?

    Nothing fancy but I would like to understand how ApptioBI is being used by my community in terms of: #users, #views, most visited reports, who visits what report, #created reports, #email notifications configured and the data fields more frequently used

    I'll add my own "me too" on this topic!  Use cases for metadata:
    * Understanding user adoption and penetration within the enterprise
    * Understanding where and how business mappings, business metrics, tags & labels, account groups, views, etc. are used by the user community

    Looking forward to any of those mini-updates you mentioned, as well as to a grander plan.
    -Eugene.
