Understanding the Usage Dashboard

The Usage Dashboard displays your Observe Compute Credit (OCC) usage on your Usage licensed instance. Access it through the Dashboard listing, or Settings -> Workspace Settings -> Usage Dashboard.

This dashboard is not available in data ingest based license plans. See License Dashboard instead.

Use the Credit Manager to manage interactive user credit limits, and use the Acceleration Manager to adjust the usage of data transformation and monitoring. You may also want to review the OPAL used in datasets and monitors for optimization opportunities: contact your Observe Data Engineer for assistance.

The top section, Summary, displays cards for the following categories:

  • Credits Consumed - the overall number of credits used by the instance.

  • Daily Credit Usage by Kind - the number of credits consumed by a query type.

  • Credit Usage by Kind - the total number of credits used by each type of query.

  • Daily Active Users - the total number of users active on a daily basis.

  • Daily Storage Usage(compressed) - daily storage in compressed form in Terabytes.

  • Daily Bytes Ingested(uncompressed) - the quantity of data consumed daily by Observe.
