Thanks Neil and Lee for your comments.
I'd be more than happy to share the code - just have to find it!
The tech who developed it has since left, and the 'View Source' just displays images of data that is rendered somewhere else. I'll get someone else to track down the functional parts and see if we can put it in a shared space online.

We do have the Who's Online Building Block Installed but this only shows records for the past 3 hours as it seems to pull out the data from the session table.
Mark, Very impressed by the Activity Chart, please let me know, like Neil, if you plan to make this code available.
I've come across MRGT being integrated onto Blackboard Servers which produce some interesting statistics, but do not fancy going down that route.

Mark,
That looks fantastic. Do you have any plans to make the code available publicly?

I had this activity chart developed by our techs a few years ago -

Has the added value of letting me see if there have been any unreported outages of the system - has been worth its weight a few times over the years.

Hi all,
Has anyone come up with a way of monitoring system usage (users logged onto blackboard) on a customised basis e.g. hourly, so that we can see usage trends throughout the day.
Blackboards System Reporting is very limited and only works on a daily basis.
Running BB8 on Windows platform using SQL Server 2005
Any help is much appreciated
Best wishes
