as an Nextcloud Admin I would be very interested in having a monitoring app / feature. I would like to see the following:
Usage Statistics
** How many users are active and when?
** Which platform do they use (Desktop / Mobile Browser, Talk App, Nextcloud App)
Client Statistics
** Which Client versions do my users use?
** Who uses a specific client version. E.g. there is this Bug in Windows Client 3.4 that produces wrong timestamps. I would like to know who uses this version and ask those people to update their client)
Is there any feature / app that enables me to do these kind of analysis?
Hi,
thank you very much for your very detailed input.
It looks like “monitoring” might have been the wrong word here. I don’t need to monitor my NC system to check its health state. I am really just interested in some basic usage statistics / informations. Therefore an external tool brings no advante to mee. - But I think you understood that, just wanted to make it clear again.
The two apps you mentioned look good, but as far as I understand I need to provide the data. Which means I would have to connect to the DB of my NC and pull the data from there. That means I need to know the structure of the database to know what is stored where.
I am really surprised that there is no basic page/app within nextcloud that provides some very basic insights. Especially devise / client statistics would be very usefull.
serverinfo app shows some basic data (even as JSON - with newer versions you don’t need a user anymore - it’s possible to easily utilize this data)…
there is grafana dashboard which can visualize this data… it’s not much - but it gives you a little insight.
I started a thread some time ago but there was not many responses till now
