Introduction

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

Connect, Workbench, and Package Manager include Chronicle. Chronicle collects usage data from Posit products and stores it in a centralized persistent storage for later analysis and reporting.
