View catalog usage metrics

This approach provides flexibility and transparency, allowing you to scale your usage according to your operational needs. The usage metering system automatically tracks and reports the total number of technical assets in your catalog. You can access these metrics at any time through your Data Integrity Suite workspace admin to monitor your current usage and plan for future growth.

Technical assets explained

Technical assets represent the foundational data infrastructure elements in your organization. These include databases, tables, schemas, and other technical data objects that are discovered and catalogued through connectors. These assets form the basis of your consumption-based pricing. Each technical asset added to the catalog contributes to your total asset count, which determines your pricing tier.

For more information about technical assets and how to configure them, see Technical assets tab in catalog.

Access usage metrics

1. In Data Integrity Suite, select the workspace for which you want to view usage metrics.
2. Go to Account > Usage.
3. On the Usage page, you will see a grid of services with their usage summaries.
4. Find the Catalog section. It shows:
   • The time frame (e.g., Last 24 Hours)
   • The number of technical assets (e.g., 72)
5. Under this summary, click Details to open the Catalog Usage Details view.
6. The Catalog Usage Details panel opens on the right side.
7. At the top, you will see Technical Assets count for the last hour.
8. Below, you will see a chart with tabs for:
   • Last Hour shows asset count by minute.
   • Last 24 Hours shows asset count by hour.
   • Last 30 Days shows asset count by day.
   • Monthly shows asset count by month.
9. Click any tab to view usage data for that time frame.
10. The chart displays the number of technical assets for the selected time frame. The system tracks the total number of technical assets for each time period. Asset counts may vary by day, week, or month, but generally increase over time as you add more assets to your catalog.
    Note: When technical assets are deleted from your catalog, they are removed from the total asset count. Your usage metrics reflect the current state of your catalog.
11. Use the Refresh button to update the data.
12. Click Close to exit the details view when finished.

The usage metrics display is available to users with appropriate administrative permissions in the workspace.

Usage metrics explained

The Catalog Usage report displays the following information:

• Total technical assets: The total number of technical assets currently catalogued in your workspace. This number represents your current consumption level and determines your pricing tier.
• Time period summaries: Usage data summarized across different time periods to help you understand trends and plan capacity. Refer to the Time period summaries section below for details.
• Historical tracking: The system maintains historical records of your asset counts over time. This data helps you understand growth patterns and forecast future usage.

Usage metrics are summarized across five time periods to provide flexibility in monitoring your consumption:

Common use cases

• Track asset growth over time: Monitor the historical usage data to understand how your technical asset count has grown over different time periods. This information helps you forecast future growth and plan for capacity increases.
• Plan connector discovery activities: Use the usage metrics to understand the impact of your connector discovery activities. After running catalog jobs, check the updated asset count to see how many new technical assets were added to your catalog.
• Monitor multiple workspaces: If your organization uses multiple workspaces, you can view usage metrics for each workspace separately. This allows you to understand asset distribution across your organization and optimize your workspace configuration.
