Introduction

Chronicle helps data science managers and other stakeholders understand their organization’s use of supported professional products (Posit Connect and Posit Workbench).

A Chronicle installation is composed of one or more agents that collect usage metrics from Posit products and a centralized server that aggregates these data and writes them to persistent storage for later inspection.
