Charts, reports, and dashboards using the DI Operations Mart data

Once you have created and populated your Data Integration Operations Mart with log data, you can use the features of the Pentaho User Console to examine this data and create reports, charts, and dashboards. We provide many pre-built reports, charts, and dashboards that you can modify.

To help understand the contents of the log, see Data Integration Operations Mart.
