Viewing asset usage statistics

Viewing asset usage statistics

You can view usage statistics about assets in the catalog on the Usage page. Most graphs appear a day after the catalog is created and are updated daily at 05:00 UTC with the data from the previous day (00:00:00-23:59:59 UTC).

Total assets graph

The Total assets graph shows total number of assets that are accessible by users in the catalog and the number of assets by asset type. System-created assets are not included in this graph. This graph shows current data and is updated every time you refresh the page.

Deleted assets and Added assets graphs

The Deleted assets and Added assets graphs show the number of unique assets deleted or added in the last selected time period (year, month, week, or day). These graphs are updated daily.

Assets accessed graph

The Assets accessed graph shows the number of unique assets accessed per day compared to the total number of assets. You can use this graph to understand how many of the assets in the catalog are being used per day. An asset that is accessed multiple times in a day is counted once. An asset is counted as accessed when a user performs an action on an asset, including:

  • Viewing or editing the asset properties.
  • Changing the asset members or the asset owner
  • Adding the asset to a project
  • Adding the asset to the catalog
  • Running profiling for the asset

The connection that is associated with an accessed asset is also counted as accessed when the asset preview is displayed, the asset is added to the catalog, and the asset is added to a project that does not already have the connection.

The total number of assets shown in the Total assets graph might differ from the total number of assets in the Assets accessed graph because the Asset accessed graph is updated only once a day and contains system-created assets.

Assets added to projects graph

The Assets added to projects graph shows the number times that assets were added to projects compared to the total number of assets (including system-created assets). The number of assets added to projects can exceed the total number of assets. The graph increments the count every time an asset is added to the project. For example, if you add the same asset to five projects, the graph shows the number of assets added to projects as 5. This graph is updated daily.
