Amazon AppStream 2.0 Adds Usage Reporting Capabilities
You can now receive detailed reports about how your users are using Amazon AppStream 2.0, including which applications they are launching.
The reports are stored as logs of session and application records in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket in your account. Session records contains 33 fields describing user streaming sessions, including user ID, session duration, stack name, and user IP address. Application records indicate which applications users have selected to stream during each session. With this information, you can run SQL queries over your usage reports using Amazon Athena to create custom reports or visualize usage patterns using Amazon QuickSight.
To get started with usage reports, log into the AppStream 2.0 console, select your region, and choose Usage Reports from the navigation pane. For instructions on how to query your usage reports using Amazon Athena, see the Usage Reports documentation. For instructions on how to visualize your usage reports using Amazon QuickSight, see the Desktop and Application Streaming blog.
