Dedicated Instance Analytics
In this articleAnalytics in Control Hub allows the administrators to access interactive data visualizations that show important information, such as usage and adoption trends. Explore data as it automatically adapts to parameters that you specify in real time.
Dedicated Instance Analytics
The Dedicated Instance Analytics and visualization capabilities allows you to monitor the overall call quality and details of the end-point usage. The Dedicated Instance Analytics visualization and reports gives partners and customers insight into the setup, efficiency, and overall use of their calling devices. Partners and customers can use this insight and reports to drive their decisions.
As a full administrator, read-only administrator, or support administrator of an organization, you have access to various reports in Control Hub, depending on your deployment. You can use this information to evaluate how Dedicated Instance services and devices are being used in your organization and how often. You can use analytics to track and measure services in your cloud collaboration portfolio.
You can export these reports as a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
The Dedicated Instance Analytics displays the Overview cards of all the categories. The Dedicated Instance Analytics cards are categorised based on:
Service Experience
Service Experience
The Service Experience dashboard helps you to analyze the service quality distribution and traffic trends based on number of calls, location, or call duration.
The CMR must provide Severely Concealed Seconds (SCS) values. This is required for grading the quality of the calls.
The device details for this are collected from the Dedicated Instance and the call quality details are obtained from CDR.

Reports and Charts
If you have a valid account and required credentials to Control Hub, then you can access the Analytics page through Site Administration.
-
The charts show data in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
-
If Dedicated Instance is upgraded from version X to version Y, then both versions are displayed in the Analytics charts. The latest data is shown under Dedicated Instance Version against the latest upgraded version. However, the calls that are counted against the previous version continues to show for the selected duration.
-
When the Cluster ID is changed, then the Analytics Cluster drop-down list shows the updated Cluster name from next day onwards. The detailed view charts in both service experience and asset usage Dedicated Instance Cluster chart shows the latest cluster name. The older cluster name continues to show and represent the previously processed call count.
-
Analytics now supports user filters.
-
You can use the user filters such as the User ID, URI, and Phone Number to filter the various charts in Analytics. If the Data Collection Agreement hasn't been accepted yet through any other service, clicking on these filters would provide you an option to review and accept the agreement.
-
This information is also available in downloaded data for the Service Experience and Asset Usage charts.
-
Analytics now supports Calling Number and Called Number charts as well.
-
The customer admin must change the required PII setings for user filter support as well as the charts representing Calling Number and Called Number.
