Squirro Monitoring User Profiles
Squirro Monitoring provides valuable insights to two groups of people.
The first group includes anyone wanting to understand user activity trends within a project. Typically, this is the project creator.
The second group includes anyone wanting to understand data ingestion activity within a project. This is often the project creator, but can also include model creators and data scientists connecting data sources to the Squirro platform.
Using Squirro Monitoring
Two dashboards are available within Squirro Monitoring: Activity and Data Ingestion Logs.
Both dashboards will show all historical project data by default. You can change the active time interval by clicking All Time in the dropdown menu in the upper-right hand corner and selecting your desired interval.

Activity Dashboard
...
The Activity dashboard displays user activity within the project. This is where you can identify usage trends within the Squirro platform and within your project documents. You can use this dashboard to identify:
Which dashboards project users are using most frequently
Dashboard usage trends over time
Which groups are the most active
Search trends within groups
The total number of items opened and trends in item utilization over time
If you are looking for further information about tracking user behaviour within Squirro, see Activity Tracking.
Data Ingestion Logs Dashboard
...
The Data Ingestion Logs dashboard displays data ingestion activity. On this dashboard you will be able to see if any errors occurred during the ingestion of data from the configured data sources into your Squirro instance. By default, the dashboard presents an activity chart and summary figures at top, with the most recent data ingestion logs below.
You can filter logs by selecting from the dropdown menus below the navigation bar as shown in the screen capture below:

By default, you can filter logs by the following parameters:
Project ID (project_id): Display only the data ingestion logs related to the selected project.
