Usage Data

Documents and applications

Posit Connect records visits to deployed content and lets you see:

• Which content was viewed
• When the content was viewed
• Who viewed the content

An overview of recent activity is available in the Connect dashboard. See the Content Settings panel section to learn more.

Details about each visit are available through Connect Server API instrumentation endpoints. Perform your own analysis using the results from these endpoints. Code examples showing how to obtain this data can be found in the User Activity section of the Posit Connect Server API Cookbook.

Content usage data is written to disk periodically, so very recent usage may not be reflected in the returned data. The default interval is 2 seconds, though this can be changed by your system administrator.
