Viewing the Users Dashboard

The Users dashboard (Analytics > Reports > Private Applications > Users) provides information about user activity in your organization.

Dashboard Tools

The Users dashboard displays the following information and functionality:

  • Time Range Filter: View user data over a period between 1 Hour to 14 Days, or you can select Custom Range. If you use a Custom Range, the start and end date must be within the last 14 days. The end time can be configured to the selected time in hours and minutes. By default, the dashboard displays information for events that occurred in the last hour. This filter applies to all widgets on the dashboard except Current Connected Users, which displays users for up to the last 30 minutes.

Log information in the dashboard is limited to 14 days. For longer access to the logs, use the Log Streaming Service (LSS).

Also, each log receiver is displayed as an application, to reflect the data coming in from the service. To learn more, including how to stop the LSS service from streaming Private Applications LSS Client logs, see Configuring a Log Receiver.
