description: 'Instructions for deployment and customization of analytics and monitoring.'
---
CVAT Analytics suite of tools is designed to track and understand users' behavior, system performance,
and for identifying potential issues in your application.
You can also visualize user activity through Grafana, and aggregate user
working time by the jobs.
Gathered logs can be additionally filtered for efficient debugging.
By using analytics, you'll gain valuable insights to optimize your system
and enhance user satisfaction.
CVAT analytics are available from the top menu.
Superusers and users with administrator role have access to analytics.
Permission to access analytics can also be granted when editing a user
on admin page by `Has access to analytics` checkbox.

## High-level architecture
The CVAT analytics is based on Vector, ClickHouse, and Grafana.
![CVAT Analytics](/images/analytic_architecture.jpg)
## CVAT Analytics
CVAT and its analytics module can be set up locally, for
self-hosted solution analytics are enabled by default.
{{% alert title="Note" color="primary" %}}
For detailed CVAT installation instructions, see
{{< ilink "/docs/administration/basics/installation" "Installation Guide" >}}
or refer to the [CVAT Course](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0to7Ng4PuuYQT4eXlHb_oIlq_RPeuasN)
for installation videos.
{{% /alert %}}
All analytics-related features will be launched when you
start CVAT containers with the following command:
```shell
docker compose up -d
```
### Ports settings
If you cannot access analytics on
development environment,
see {{< ilink "/docs/contributing/development-environment#cvat-analytics-ports" "Analytics Ports" >}}
### Events log structure
[Relational database](https://github.com/cvat-ai/cvat/blob/develop/components/analytics/clickhouse/init.sh)
schema with the following fields:
<!--lint disable maximum-line-length-->

### Working time calculation
Here is a short overview of how CVAT deals with the user's working time:
- The user interface collects events when a user interacts with the interface
(resizing canvas, drawing objects, clicking buttons, etc)
The structure of one single event is described [here](#events-log-structure).
- The user interface sends these events in bulk to the server.
Currently, it uses the following triggers to send events:
- Periodical timer (~90 seconds)
- A user clicks the "Save" button on the annotation view
- A user opens the annotation view
- A user closes the annotation view (but not the tab/browser)
- A user clicks **Logout** button
- When events reach the server, it calculates working time based on timestamps of the events.
- The working time for an event is computed as the sum of the following:
- The difference between the start time of the event and the end time of
the previous event, if it is not more than 100 seconds.
- The duration of the event, for events of type `change:frame`.
- After calculation, the server generates `send:working_time` events with time value in payload.
These events may or may not be bound to a certain job/task/project,
depending on the client-side events that were used to generate them.
- CVAT saves the event in the database and later these events are used to compute metrics for analytics.
### Request `id` for tracking
Note, that every response to an API request made to the
the server includes a header named `X-Request-Id`,
for example: `X-Request-Id: 6a2b7102-c4b9-4d57-8754-5658132ba37d`.
This identifier is also recorded in all server events that
occur as a result of the respective request.
For example, when an operation to create a task is performed,
other related entities such as labels and attributes are
generated on the server in addition to the **Task** object.
All events associated with this operation will have the same `request_id` in
the payload field.
### Export event data
You can export the event data as a CSV file locally and to cloud storage.
To export the data locally:
1. Initiate the export process by sending a `POST` request to `/api/events/export` endpoint.
The endpoint accepts several query parameters to filter events:
`org_id`, `project_id`, `task_id`, `job_id`, `user_id`, `to` and `from`.
For more details, see
[Swagger API Documentation](https://app.cvat.ai/api/swagger/#/events/events_create_export).
For example:
```bash
curl -X POST -u 'user:pass' https://app.cvat.ai/api/events/export?job_id=123
```
1. You can check the status of the export process by sending a GET request with the `rq_id` to the
[`/api/requests/{id}`](https://app.cvat.ai/api/swagger/#/requests/requests_retrieve) endpoint:
```bash
curl -I --user 'user:pass' https://app.cvat.ai/api/requests/rq_id
```
Once the export process finishes, the request returns an object with `"status": "finished"` and `"result_url": "URL"`.
1. Download the event data file locally using `result_url`:
```bash
curl -u user:password -o path/to/file.csv result_url
```
This command will download and save the CSV file to `path/to/file.csv` on your local machine.
To save the CSV file with the event data to cloud storage, you can use the
`/api/events/export` endpoint with `cloud_storage_id` and `location=cloud_storage` parameters,
for example:
```bash
curl -X POST -u user:password "https://app.cvat.ai/api/events/export?cloud_storage_id=your_cloud_storage_id&location=cloud_storage"
```

### Dashboards setup
You can adjust the dashboards. To do this, click on the
graph or table name and from the drop-down menu select **Edit**.
Adjust the query in the editor.
![Dashboard: look and feel](/images/dashboard_04.jpg)
Example of query:
```sql
SELECT
time,
uniqExact(user_id) Users
FROM
(
SELECT
user_id,
toStartOfInterval(timestamp, INTERVAL 15 minute) as time
FROM cvat.events
WHERE
user_id IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY
user_id,
time
ORDER BY time ASC WITH FILL STEP toIntervalMinute(15)
)
GROUP BY time
ORDER BY time
```
{{% alert title="Note" color="primary" %}}
By default the updated configuration will not be saved
and will be reset to the default parameters after you restart the
container.
{{% /alert %}}
To save the updated configuration, do the following:
1. **Update Configuration**: Start by making your desired changes in the query.
1. **Apply Changes**: Once you've made your changes,
click the **Apply** button to ensure the changes are implemented.
![Apply changes](/images/apply.jpg)
1. **Save Configuration**: To save your applied changes, on the top of the dashboard,
click the **Save** button.
![Apply changes](/images/save_results.jpg)
1. **Replace Configuration File**: After saving, replace the existing
Grafana dashboard configuration file is located at
`components/analytics/grafana/dashboards` with the new JSON configuration file.
![Apply changes](/images/save_json.jpg)
1. **Restart Grafana Service**: To ensure, that all changes take effect,
restart the Grafana service. If you're using Docker Compose,
execute the following command: `docker compose restart cvat_grafana`.
