“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
When Administrative Reports are unavailable, you can pull API usage metrics from Salesforce Event Monitoring objects with enhanced data processing and visualization capabilities.
This approach transforms Event Monitoring’s raw log data into actionable API usage insights while providing better data retention and analysis capabilities than Salesforce’s native interface offers.
Transform Event Monitoring data using Coefficient
CoefficientSalesforcecan effectively import API usage metrics fromEvent Monitoring objects with enhanced data processing and visualization capabilities compared to accessing Event Monitoring through Salesforce’s native interface.
SalesforceYou can connect directly to EventLogFile and other Event Monitoring objects if available in your org, choose specific API-related fields without being limited to pre-built views, and apply complex AND/OR filter logic to focus on specific API usage patterns or time periods. Automated processing lets you schedule regular imports to maintain current Event Monitoring data from.
How to make it work
Step 1. Connect to Event Monitoring objects.
Use “From Objects & Fields” to access EventLogFile object with API-related event types. Apply filters for specific date ranges and API consumption events to focus on relevant data.
Step 2. Set up automated data processing.
Schedule daily imports to maintain current Event Monitoring visibility and use formula auto-fill to calculate rolling averages and trend analysis. This transforms raw log data into business-ready metrics.
Step 3. Create custom calculations and analysis.
Transform raw Event Monitoring logs into actionable API usage metrics using spreadsheet formulas. Create derived metrics like API calls per hour, peak usage identification, and consumption forecasting.
Step 4. Build historical aggregation.
Combine multiple Event Monitoring files to build comprehensive API usage trends over time. Use snapshots to preserve processed Event Monitoring data for long-term analysis beyond Salesforce’s retention limits.
Step 5. Integrate with operational datasets.
Merge Event Monitoring data with other operational datasets for comprehensive analysis. Create dashboards that combine API usage patterns with user activity and system performance metrics.
