What does activity look like over time?
The event history at a glance — and the query that shows why monthly collection pays off.
SELECT event_date::DATE AS day, event_type, count(*) AS events
FROM history.events
GROUP BY ALL
ORDER BY day, event_type;
Why the shape matters
Admin Insights retains roughly 90 days. Every run folds fresh events into
history.events, deduplicated on natural keys, so the accumulated history
outlives Tableau's retention window.
Gaps in the day series are real information, not noise: they mark periods where
no run covered the window. tca summary reports them explicitly rather than
letting a hole pass for a quiet week.
