Hi!

I would like to be able to see dashboards that don’t have any viewers as well. Right now I only seem to see dashboards with viewers.

I would also be great to filter on a specific dashboard and see which users have viewed it.

Hi @andrea,
(1) About seeing the dashboards with zero views (or viewers): Totally got your point here :+1:

The good news is: we’re actually planning to release a new version of Usage Monitoring this month, with a widget that lists all dashboards with no view, alongside other new upgrades.
Gotta cc @DataGeekDude on this as well, since you’ve had a similar request earlier :wink:

(2) About being able to filter on a specific dashboard
Absolutely! You can actually utilize Cross-filtering for this specific goal.
Just click on a dashboard from the Active Dashboards listing widget, and the other widgets (User listings, Total Views, etc.) will be filtered accordingly.

Cheers! :beers:

My apologies for missing the announcements here, @Guido_Stark and @DataGeekDude! :pray:

For tracking usage metrics of deleted users: Our team has released both a dashboard filter for User status and a column of “User status” in the current version. Hope it comes in handy!

Regarding your suggestion to change nulls to zeros: This is a really good point for an improvement! Thanks, guys for raising this :muscle:
We actually had a discussion about this internally, but then had to put a pin in it since this might cost slightly more in terms of performance. That said, it’s a worthwhile improvement to get back to later.

Cheers!

I just tried this out and the bottom left widget Users with no dashboard view activity still contains users that are deleted. My filter was set as the following:

So I would not expect deleted users, which have been deleted for more than 6 months, to appear in the list of users with no activity. It seems as though that filter isn’t working on the widget (I haven’t checked any other widgets)

Extra metrics related to:

  • Widget query execution time
  • Widget query render time

Would be a fantastic addition

Hi @raulcruzv!
Thank you for sharing this suggestion. Definitely agreed that widget load time info is very essential.

Since Usage Monitoring focuses on how your users are utilizing the dashboards/reports, we made a decision to exclude performance metrics (such as load time) from this feature.

Instead, we support it in another feature called Job Monitoring (Job Monitoring | Holistics Docs). With this, you can see information like widget’s query load time, queue time, the action that generated this job, etc.

I hope my reply is helpful. Do let me know if this is ideal for you, or if you’ve got further questions, Raul.
Cheers! :beers:
