Client Telemetry

Client telemetry was introduced in MicroStrategy 2021 Update 8 (December 2022). Starting in MicroStrategy 2021 Update 9, this preview feature is out-of-the-box.

Client telemetry attributes describe the peripheral activity of the MicroStrategy platform, such as user interaction with the content (switching to pages, sorting, and so on) and devices used during the session.

Telemetry collected from modern clients is stored at the transactional level and is joined with server telemetry (users, objects, server jobs) to provide meaningful insights.

Client-associated attributes have relationships with time, account, device, and session hierarchies. The addition of the Custom Application attribute offers the ability to analyze how customized applications impact the interaction of the user base with the content.
