Hi I am looking at our usage data starts for user activity, is there anyway to see activity for provisioned users? I am looking to get some data on how many are logging in

Based on the knowledge sources, there are several options available for tracking user activity and login data in GoodData: ## Audit Logs For tracking user activity including logins, you can set up [audit logs](https://www.gooddata.com/docs/cloud/security-and-compliance/audit-log/) for your organization. According to the knowledge sources, audit logs capture events for various activities including dashboard and visualization creation/updates. However, it's important to note that audit logs are currently only available for enterprise tier customers. ## Usage Statistics and Telemetry GoodData Cloud collects [usage statistics](https://www.gooddata.com/docs/cloud/security-and-compliance/telemetry/) that include: - Interactions with UI elements and APIs - State of metadata and configuration of individual organizations - Conversations and interactions with AI-driven elements If you're interested in accessing usage statistics for dashboards and workspaces, you'll need to reach out to your account owner at GoodData to enable this feature. ## Platform Usage API While there is a [platform usage API](https://www.gooddata.com/docs/cloud/manage-organization/organization-api/entitlements/#view-usage) available (
/api/v1/actions/collectUsage
), it only provides counts of total users and workspaces in your organization - it doesn't provide detailed activity or login information for individual users. ## Limitations The knowledge sources do not explicitly mention a built-in way to track which provisioned users are actively logging in versus those who are not. For detailed user login activity tracking, the audit log feature (available for enterprise customers) would be your best option. I recommend contacting your GoodData account owner to discuss enabling audit logs or accessing usage statistics that might help with your specific use case.

so if we have access to our usage stats am I able to see when provisioned users have logged in

Hi Chris, It also depends on what exactly you want to track. In the usage domain, you can see certain types of executions, such as dashboard executions, AFM executions, etc. When you combine this data with the user ID in a visualization, you can get a general idea of which users are active and what specific actions they’ve performed. However, this data only has daily granularity — there’s no precise timestamp. For detailed user traffic with exact timestamps and all possible interactions within the platform, you’d need to set up audit logs, as mentioned above.
With audit logs, you can track pretty much all the existing traffic. In usage domain, there is only a fraction of that as the usage analytics has primarily different purpose.

I have the data based on user ID but that is only around 600 users I can track, I was wondering if there is any tracking of provisioned users in the Usage domain. Daily Granularity on that is fine
j
Ah, you mean some timestamp or date when was the user created?
c
not exactly, I am trying to track how many active users we have so I am looking for a total number of provisioned users and the days in which they logged into GoodData

I will send you a DM
