About base platform data
Important
This feature is only available for Private instance and Single Tenant instance installations.
Base platform data is a comprehensive and curated collection of data.world platform data tables that provides enterprise customers with deep, actionable insights into their platform usage, user activity, and resource management.
Designed specifically for Private instance and Single Tenant instance deployments, base platform data supports advanced use cases such as analytics, auditing, and operational visibility.
With base platform data, you can answer questions like:
Which users are most active on the platform and how are they engaging?
What datasets are being created, queried, or deleted?
How is API usage trending over time?
What search terms are most commonly used across the organization?
How are resources like queries, datasets, and subscriptions evolving over time?
Whether you are a platform administrator, data analyst, or governance lead, base platform data equips you with the information needed to monitor behavior, optimize performance, and ensure accountability across your data.world environment.
