Platform Analytics is the next-generation monitoring tool that captures platform data (also known as telemetry) from your MicroStrategy environments in real-time, and uses this data to enable a smarter administration and to provide a better experience to your MicroStrategy users. Platform Analytics collects data from 10 areas of the MicroStrategy platform, including environments, projects, users, cubes, and more.
Platform Analytics provides several ways to access, analyze, and act on this telemetry, including out of the box standard dashboards and native telemetry interfaces in MicroStrategy Workstation; empowering administrators to provide a better experience to MicroStrategy users. You can access Platform Analytics data in three different ways depending on your needs:
- By viewing the Platform Analytics data embedded in Workstation: One of the exciting features of Platform Analytics is that it exposes some of the data that it captures directly in the user interface of Workstation. This allows users who would otherwise not have access to the Platform Analytics project, to get access to important MicroStrategy data. For more information, see View Dashboard Usage Activity in the Workstation Help.
- By running the out-of-the-box Platform Analytics dashboards: Platform Analytics ships with a MicroStrategy project that provides out-of-the-box dashboards designed to showcase some of the data that Platform Analytics captures for each of the different system areas.
- By creating your own dashboards: Platform Analytics also supports the creation of self-service content (dashboards, reports, and documents) which are based on the out-of-the-box schema and application objects included in the Platform Analytics project.
Platform Analytics and Enterprise Manager are both monitoring tools that capture data about MicroStrategy. However, Platform Analytics is a new tool based on the latest technology, and as such, it offers the many advantages over its predecessor.
