Auditing and Monitoring Connect with the Connect Server API

Using the Connect Server API, administrators can create scheduled reports and dashboards to track and manage the content on their servers.

“Use the report templates to answer questions like…”
  • How do I produce a list of all the content we have published to Connect?
  • Which applications can be accessed by which people and which groups?
  • Which versions of R and Python are actually being used, and by which publishers?
  • How much unpublished content is on the server?
  • Which vanity URLs do we have in use across the server, and how do I list them out?
