Capturing User Logins for Business Intelligence Insights with ThoughtSpot

Bridge the gap between deploying analytics and driving actual adoption by capturing and analyzing real-world user login behavior. In this technical walkthrough, we explore how to utilize ThoughtSpot CS Tools to extract audit logs and activity data, giving admins and stakeholders clear visibility into platform engagement.

In this video, you will learn how to:

  • Extract Audit Data: Use the CS Tools command line to pull bi_server and metadata documentation directly from your ThoughtSpot environment.
  • Model User Activity: Establish a one-to-many join between the ts_user and bi_server tables to connect user profiles with specific login events.
  • Track Login Recency: Run specialized search queries using max and min keywords to identify the exact timestamp of a user's first and most recent session.
  • Measure User Depth: Leverage "Search Token Impressions" to quantify how often users are clicking and exploring the cluster, distinguishing between casual viewers and power users.
  • Drive Strategic Adoption: Use these insights to deploy targeted strategies that encourage low-activity users to return and maximize the ROI of your BI investment.

The Result? A data-driven approach to platform administration that replaces intuition with hard evidence of user adoption and engagement.
