Hey sspringstead​
You’ve brought up a really important challenge, understanding which tables (especially custom ones) are actually in use across your Sisense instance is critical for keeping things lean, performant, and maintainable. This becomes even more urgent as data models grow and evolve over time.
We ran into this exact issue with several customers, which is why we built an internal tool that’s now available as a plugin: Asset Auditor.
Before I get into the details of what we have available, I will say that you can achieve this with some custom code and scripts, but this will need to be developed and then maintained. If you're interested in achieving this please see below
While your request focuses on table usage, Asset Auditor actually covers that and much more:
- Table and Column Utilization – Easily see which tables and columns are actively used in widgets and dashboards, and which ones are not.
- Unused Data Models – Identify full ElastiCubes or data models that haven’t been queried in weeks/months.
- Custom Table Tracking – Get visibility into which custom SQL tables are in use and which are just slowing down your builds.
- Widget and Dashboard Errors – Surface broken or deprecated content before it impacts users.
- Plugin and Feature Usage – Understand which plugins or features are widely adopted and which are going unused.
We’ve heard from admins that one of the biggest pain points is not having centralized visibility into what’s used and what’s just sitting idle, especially when preparing for server upgrades, debugging slow builds, or doing content cleanup.
We're actually hosting a webinar on September 16th where we'll be showing Asset Auditor live and discussing how it helps BI teams reclaim control over their Sisense environments.
