Metabase Monitoring Toolkit

This repository contains a rich collection of SQL queries for monitoring a Metabase instance. Metabase is a robust Business Intelligence tool, and these analytics provide an extra layer of insight into your Metabase usage. The queries offer information on aspects such as execution time statistics, usage frequency by time, user activity, broken queries, and more.

Getting Started

To utilize these queries, ensure you have an instance of Metabase running and have access to the underlying database. The queries are primarily designed for PostgreSQL.
