Reports Matrix Question...

[ChiTownDiva]

Afternoon All...

I've been asked to develop a list and determine how often people are running reports via CE.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks in advance.

What version of CE?

The logging in CE 8.5 might be used to accomplish some of this if you log the URL info, and can track IP information back to the users (static IP's).

There's also 3rd party help:

That is like the "Holy Grail" for CE administrators and about as easy to acquire. You can spend $3K and buy a third party tool for this which might work.
If you really just want to monitor gross usage though you could use perfmon to log the number of connections to the server as well as cpu activity. I use that to determine when my peak usage is but it doesn't tell me who's running reports and how often, etc. Supposedly CE10 will have tools like this...
