Identity Analytics

The Identity Analytics dashboard shows you how users are interacting with your platform over time. Use it to understand growth trends, measure success rates, and spot unusual patterns in registrations or authentications.

What you see

The dashboard is made up of charts and metric cards, each focusing on a different aspect of user activity.

Common workflows

Monitor user login metrics over time

  1. Open Identity Analytics.
  2. Set the time period to Day or Week.
  3. Look at the Authentication Metrics chart and the Successful / Failed Authentication chart.
  4. Compare the success-to-failure ratio against the previous period by switching the selector.

Monitor registration growth over time

  1. Open Identity Analytics.
  2. Set the time period to Month or 6 months.
  3. Look at the Registration Metrics chart to see whether registrations are growing.
  4. Compare with the Authentications chart and Active Users chart to confirm the same trend.

Identify a drop in active users

  1. Open Identity Analytics.
  2. Switch between Week, Month, and 6 months periods.
  3. If the active user count drops significantly compared to a longer trend, investigate recent failed authentication spikes using the Authentication Metrics chart and Successful / Failed Authentication chart.

What can I see from these metrics?

  • A sudden increase in failed registrations could indicate a problem with your registration flow or a bot attack.
  • A drop in successful authentications might suggest a recent change caused login issues, or that users are having trouble with their registered authenticators.
  • Steady growth in active users and registrations is a good sign that your platform is gaining traction and providing value to users.
  • Comparing registration and authentication trends can help you understand user retention and whether new users are successfully converting into active users.
  • See which channels (for example password, social login, or FIDO2) are most popular with your users, and whether that changes over time.
