Taking a cue from Brad Feld’s blog about daily data, we’ve come up with our own daily data template. For those of you who didn’t take the bait and click thru the previous link, the idea of daily data is a short email based summary of significant metrics about a service business. It is meant as a short daily pulse on the service. Here are a few that we are using here at Envysion:

Reports defined: Total Number of reports defined
Myclips #clips saved: Total number of clips saved
Myclips hours saved: Total number of hours of clips saved
# groups created: Total number of groups created
# group members: Total number of members of all groups
# videos saved to group: Total number of videos saved into groups
# POS events stored: Total number of rows in the database table that stores POS events
# users: Total number of users that have accounts
# logins yesterday: Total number of logins yesterday (logging in twice counts as 2)
# distinct logins yesterday: Total number of unique logins yesterday (logging in twice counts as 1)
Event Agent Online: Total number of EnVRs that have received POS data within the last 24 hours
EnVRs Provisioned: Total number of EnVRs configured (less those in RMA and Inventory domains)
EnVRs Online: Total number of EnVRs with an active openvpn connection into the datacenter
Open tickets: Total number of trouble tickets open
New tickets yesterday: Total number of trouble tickets created yesterday

This list will change as certain metrics become more or less important.

Thanks Brad! (And Dan, who pointed out Brad’s post!)
