Audit & Telemetry in MS DYNAMICS CRM

Question

Is there any possible way to get advanced auditing options in crm dynamics (third party tool, querying database filteredviews)

I want to know Number of user connected, duration of connection for each user, time passed in each form, reports executed(by who).

Answer 1

You have asked for 2 different things.

Auditing:

CRM OOB auditing data stored in on-premise SQL is " , " and " ~ " separated, so have to do reverse engineering & some Power BI chart will visualize nicely on top of the data. We did that by referring below link.

Telemetry:

Custom solution using application insights can be collected, including your own metrics like explained in my blog post below.

On a side note, CRM 2016 has a preview feature of Organization Insights which will cover few of your asks. Refer the link below.
