We are trying to do a user analysis to understand the usage of Celonis applications and were able to process the audit logs. Is there a way to understand how many Users were created along with user groups and Date of creation of User id etc. Swathi

Dear Swathi, There are multiple options to analyze the usage of Celonis:
  1. As you mentioned, the Audit Logs contain all security-relevant events, such as user creation, group creation, and access to Analyses / Data Models (with the respective IDs and timestamps) in a .txt file.
  2. Additionally, there is the possibility to enable Access Logging (via the access-logging.properties / access-logging.properties.sample in the ./component_configurations folder), which focuses on the usage of Analyses specifically. You can even set up access logging to an external database. From there, it is possible to re-import the data into Celonis to analyze it with a dedicated Data Model / Analysis.
  3. The third option is to enable Login Logging (via the login-logging.properties / login-logging.properties.sample in the ./component_configurations folder). The behavior is equal to the Access Logs, but it captures login events.
I hope this helps!

Dear Celonis Product Management Team,

 

I'd like to focus on option 2)

you say that :

"You can even set up access logging to an external database. From there, it is possible to re-import the data into Celonis to analyze it with a dedicated Data Model / Analysis."

 

I have created an Analysis in Process Analytics in order to track the usage and logins of my users. 

The only way I found to feed this analysis with data is to create a data pool and manually upload an xls file (in my case google sheet connection).

In the Login history I will then manually download the CSV file, input it into a google sheet and reload the data.

 

Is there a better way to do this automatically?

 

Also, I have installed the ML workbench "Stats Usage Tracker" with an API key, ut unfortunately the analysis provided there isn't as useful as the one I create myself.

 

Thanks for you help

I am curious about this as well. How can I view the access logging?
