Metrics

Learn what metrics mean and how to find them in the Insights web UI.

Metrics Access

Access to metrics is restricted based on the group membership of the user. Groups represent partners. 

The diagram below illustrates this structure:

LevelDefinition
PartnersThe top level that represents a partner or company. 
ClientsThe level below the partner. It represents one of the clients that a partner manages. Each client has only one partner associated. A partner can have several clients. 
ClustersThe level below the client. It represents a group of censhare Servers. Each cluster has only one client and a client can have several clusters. 
ServerThe lowest level which is a server.


The illustration below shows how this is related to the permission rights.

  • user A is added to Partner A and therefore allowed to access metrics of the servers 1, 2 and 3. These servers are associated with Partner A.
  • user B is added to Partner A and Partner B and therefore allowed to access metrics of the servers 1 to 5. 


It is not possible to handpick access on any of the levels below partners.

Users

Total amount

Total count of registered users

Users without password

Count of registered users who do not have a password set

Logged-in users

Count of users currently logged-in to the system

Users logged-in all time

Count of users that have logged into the system at least once since the logging tool has been deployed

Logged-in clients - java client

Total count of all java clients (censhare Client) currently logged-in to the system

Logged-in clients - web client

Viewing Metrics: Dashboard

In a few easy steps you can handpick server metrics that you need.

Please make sure that you have been assigned necessary rights before proceeding. Otherwise, you won't be able to see any metrics.


Retrieve metrics

  1. To view metrics of a server, you must first select its partner, client, and cluster (exactly in this order, from top to bottom in the filter section). The cluster list contains only clusters of the partner you have access to.
  2. Once you selected the cluster, the server list is updated with the servers of the selected cluster.
  3. Continue by selecting the time range. If you want to see a specific day, use the same start and end date.
  4. Select the metrics you want to see.
  5. To retrieve and see the metrics click on the "Show" button.
  6. A chart will be populated with the metrics you have chosen.
  7. Hover over the chart if you want to display values for a specific hour.

Access metrics documentation

If you want to check the exact meaning of any metric, you can quickly access the metrics cheat sheet. Click on the Documentation link in the top right corner of the Insights web application. 

Export metrics

  1. Click the blue arrow icon on the top right of the chart.
  2. When you click the button, it generates and downloads the Excel files.
  3. Check your download folder to find the files.
  4. Each metric is exported to a separate Excel file.
