The Activity Report

The activity report furnishes comprehensive details regarding the usage and adoption of your Stack Automation account.

Here are examples of insights obtainable from this report:

  • Trend in deployment launches
  • Trend in active users (Note: A user is deemed active if they have started at least one deployment within the defined timeframe)
  • Holistic view of deployment statuses, including those requiring immediate attention
  • Segmentation of deployments based on space and blueprint
  • Identification of the most active users
  • Evaluation of the most and least used blueprints
  • Assessment of deployments running for the longest durations

Let's examine a real-life application of the activity report:

Observing the "Deployment Status" chart, we note that there are presently five deployments (1.9% of the total deployments) for which termination failed. Since their cloud resources may still be operational and consuming cloud budget, investigating this matter is advisable. If we cross-filter by these deployments, the report will show only deployments that failed to terminate.

We can discern the launch dates of these deployments:

Additionally, we can identify the spaces where these deployments were launched:

As well as who launched it, and from what blueprints.

This data enables us to identify anomalies or issues in specific spaces, users, or blueprints. For instance, if a substantial number of deployments which failed to terminate were launched from a single blueprint, we can further cross-filter based on the specific blueprint.

To delve deeper, we can view the deployments directly in the deployments table:
