id=\"mcetoc_1jo2f24llvp\">Get started with usage analytics</h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Open the dashboard</strong><br>Go to <strong>Admin &gt; Monitoring</strong>, then choose <strong>Analytics</strong> or <strong>Token Usage</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Choose a time range</strong><br>Select a preset time range, or use a custom date and time range.</li>\n<li><strong>Apply filters</strong><br>Narrow the results by assistant, user, source, interval, or investigation preset.</li>\n<li><strong>Review the summary cards and charts</strong><br>Use the totals, averages, and charts to understand overall patterns.</li>\n<li><strong>Investigate unusual results</strong><br>Use detailed tabs such as rankings, source, model, or spike finder to work out what is driving activity.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2 id=\"analytics-dashboard\">Analytics dashboard</h2>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<div>\n<div><img src=\"https://storage.faqbot.nz/prod/0d5220bc9ad14992d05108dccd460f35/files/pasted_image_article_usage-analytics_5b64d336-6320-4372-bf8f-28fa0ad2243a.png\"></div>\n</div>\n<p>The <strong>Analytics</strong> dashboard shows product usage analytics and insights.</p>\n<p>You can use it to answer questions such as:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which assistants are most popular?</li>\n<li>Who are your power users?</li>\n<li>What are the usage patterns over time?</li>\n<li>Which parts of the product are being used most?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The dashboard includes filters and investigation options to help you focus on specific activity.</p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1jo2e9rvgpm\">Investigation presets</h3>\n<p>Investigation presets help you switch quickly between common usage views.</p>\n<p>Examples include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Core assistant interaction</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Thread + message volume</strong></li>\n<li><strong>API usage</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>These presets make it easier to review a category of activity without manually selecting each event group.</p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1jo2e9rvgpn\">Event groups</h3>\n<p>Event groups let you focus on a specific area of product activity.</p>\n<p>Examples include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Core assistant interaction</li>\n<li>Assistant management</li>\n<li>Thread management</li>\n<li>File management</li>\n<li>Template management</li>\n<li>Integration and API management</li>\n<li>Web crawling</li>\n<li>Admin and user management</li>\n<li>System configuration</li>\n<li>UI and branding</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Use event groups when you want to narrow the dashboard to one type of activity.</p>\n<h2 id=\"token-usage\">Token usage</h2>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<div><img src=\"https://storage.faqbot.nz/prod/0d5220bc9ad14992d05108dccd460f35/files/pasted_image_article_usage-analytics_c72ab2f9-cea3-4ea8-80c8-861ea41092e9.png\"></div>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The <strong>Token Usage</strong> dashboard helps you understand token consumption across assistants and users.</p>\n<p>You can use it to investigate:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>which users are consuming the most tokens</li>\n<li>which assistants are consuming the most tokens</li>\n<li>which models are driving token usage</li>\n<li>whether cached tokens are helping reduce effective API cost</li>\n<li>whether a spike is linked to a specific user, assistant, model, or source</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1jo2e9rvgpo\">Available views</h3>\n<p>The current Token Usage dashboard includes views such as:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Overview</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Spike Finder</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Rankings</strong></li>\n<li><strong>By Source</strong></li>\n<li><strong>By Model</strong></li>\n<li><strong>By User/Assistant + Model</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1jo2e9rvgpp\">Rankings</h3>\n<p>The <strong>Rankings</strong> view helps you see the top users and assistants by total token consumption in the selected time range.</p>\n<p>Depending on the data available, you may also see values such as:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>total tokens</li>\n<li>input tokens</li>\n<li>output tokens</li>\n<li>cached tokens</li>\n<li>reasoning tokens</li>\n<li>records</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1jo2e9rvgpq\">By source and by model</h3>\n<p>Use <strong>By Source</strong> and <strong>By Model</strong> to understand where token usage is coming from.</p>\n<p>This is useful if you want to compare:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>different types of activity</li>\n<li>different models</li>\n<li>patterns over time</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1jo2e9rvgpr\">By user/assistant + model</h3>\n<p>Use <strong>By User/Assistant + Model</strong> when you need a more detailed breakdown.</p>\n<p>This view can help you identify which user and model, or which assistant and model, is driving token usage.</p>\n<h2 id=\"filters\">Filters</h2>\n<p>Both dashboards include filters to help you narrow the data.</p>\n<p>Depending on the dashboard, filters may include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Time range</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Interval</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Source</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Assistant filter</strong></li>\n<li><strong>User filter</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Use filters to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>review one assistant</li>\n<li>review one user</li>\n<li>compare a short time period such as an hour or a day</li>\n<li>focus on a specific source of activity</li>\n<li>investigate a known spike</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 id=\"spike-finder\">Spike finder</h2>\n<p><strong>Spike Finder</strong> is designed to help you investigate unusual token usage.</p>\n<p>A practical way to use it is:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Spot the spike in a chart or summary.</li>\n<li>Set the same date and time range in the filters.</li>\n<li>Open <strong>Spike Finder</strong>.</li>\n<li>Review the breakdown by user, assistant, model, or source.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>This makes it easier to work out what caused a sudden increase in token consumption.</p>\n<h2 id=\"tips\">Tips for investigating unusual usage</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Start with a broad time range, then narrow it once you find the period you need.</li>\n<li>Use <strong>Analytics</strong> to understand overall product activity.</li>\n<li>Use <strong>Token Usage</strong> when you need to investigate spend or model usage.</li>\n<li>Use rankings to quickly identify high-usage assistants or users.</li>\n<li>Use spike finder when a chart shows a sudden jump.</li>\n<li>Switch filters one at a time so it is easier to see what changed.</li>\n</ul></body></html>","description":"Learn how to monitor activity, track token consumption, investigate
