How to get user statistics using the $Monitoring cube via XMLA? - iccube

I have successfully enabled the $Monitoring cube by setting the <activated>true</activated> to true in de the icCube.xml-file.
I use the cubes using the Excel XMLA interface and using an icCube-admin account the %Monitoring cube is visible and accessible.
All of my colleagues have their own icCube-account and now I really want to get some stats about which cubes are used by who (when, how many times, etc.). Is their any to do this using the Excel XMLA interface?
Thanks!

In the $Monitoring cube, you have the User and Time dimensions (amongst others). So you can select statistics per User and Time. You can see all the available stats in the Measure dimension itself.

Is there an R function that captures the email of a user that logs in to Power BI?

I'm planning to create a predictive model for retail at the store-level. I'll be dealing with thousands of stores, so this will entail a very huge data. Since my computer's capability is very limited, I was thinking of filtering the dataset based on who is logged in to Power BI to reduce the size before proceeding with the modelling part in my code. I use Power BI as my visualization tool and later on, the R code that I will create will be imported to Power BI Desktop.
Your question is a bit unclear, but I'm guessing that you are using the R-visualisation in Power BI desktop.
if that is the case you could pass a measure to the R-visualisation with the username:
logged in user = Username()

Does H2O Driverless AI has inbuilt support for sharing a visualization graph from one account to another without downloading?

In H2O Driverless AI, there is a feature in which after we upload a dataset, we can see visualization of the dataset in various plots. So is there a way I can share this graph to a different person in H2O Driverless AI, so that he/she can see the graph dynamically.
Please note that : I dont want to download the graphs, because if I do that, the graph will become static.
What I want is to share the graph to a different person so that he can view the live graph without giving my account credentials.
Is there any way to do this in H2O Driverless AI ?
Each user/account is separate so the dynamic graphs won't be shared. However, you could create a notebook and share that usugin the Python client to build the visualizations. Check out this example which uses Autoviz and Python client.

Visualize longitude&latitude GPS points on PowerBI maps offline?

I'm trying to visualize GPS points on PowerBI maps offline and wonder what would be the best way to achieve that.
Ideally, I'd like to see the offline mapping to have the same effect as directly using the "Map" visualization - GPS points (in data as longitude and latitude columns) plotted on the Bing map. However, our team will need this function offline, because our users are usually under bad internet connections. Also we are wary about Bing's data sharing policy as our GPS information is highly confidential.
So far I've tried PowerBI's shape map function, which allows me to upload a TopoJSON file and use it offline. However, it looks like shape map is better used for highlighting a region on the map, instead of plotting individual GPS points - shape map doesn't seem to allow longitude/latitude. Besides that, shape map does not have as much information like Bing map, such as showing city/road names and etc.
Is there a way to visualize GPS points offline on PowerBI, but still get enough information about what are around the GPS points? I'm referring to PowerBI here but all things I've been doing are on PowerBI Desktop. I don't plan to publish on the web as this will be my company's internal tool. Thanks in advance!
The built-in mapping functions such as the Map visual powered by the Bing maps API and the Eris mapping do not have an offline mode. Both require an online connection. Depending on the level of detail that you require, I would suggest looking into an R or Python visual with one of the mapping libraries. Here are some examples of the R mapping libraries. But getting the map json files into Power BI will also be an issue and may not meet your requirements on the level of detail that you need.
Also we are wary about Bing's data sharing policy as our GPS information is highly confidential.
I wouldn't worry about it, Bing & Power BI mapping is used by a wide number of organisation including heath and military customers. Your confidential data is more at risk with some one copying your Power BI report and sticking it on a USB drive.
However, our team will need this function offline, because our users are usually under bad internet connections
I would try some other options for offline mapping, for example Google Maps has the ability to down load a section of the map for offline/bad connections. I've downloaded the whole UK and its about 100meg.
Hope that helps

Check if a railway track is near location

I've been looking into this for quite a bit, but couldn't find a solution. Is there a way to find out whether railway tracks are near a users position?
The APIs don't provide a places search like this (see Google Places supported types for this). One possibility would be to download the OpenStreetMap dataset for your region, import it in a database and extract the datasets Railways. Then you could pass the users position to your database (PostGIS) and check if there is a railways matching your filters.
Moreover there is the OpenRailwayMap, if you just need a possibility to do some visual identification of railway tracks. See OpenRailwayMap API site for further usage information.

Totally offline app-SQlite-show POIS

Can i use osmdroid to save my offline maps in a sqlite db and after show offline some POIS and get distances beetween my location and the location of the POIS?
From a research i figure out that osmdroid not support offline searching for POIS. Is that true?
Its better to search for the lip Mapforge?
With osmdroid, you can
View downloaded, prerendered, map tiles offline via database or several other mechanisms
Plot icons, lines, polygons, etc and attach on click handers for each item
Show your location on the map
So that said, you can get the point for a specific item on the map. If you can get your location, then it's a simple equation to calculate straight line distance.
If you want the points to be offline and searchable, you'll need a database of some sort, a way to populate it and some strategy to search it. This is pretty much what mapsforge is doing. I've done similar things with wikimapia data and it can definitely be done, but there's nothing provided out of the box since osmdroid only handles raster images.
If online is an option, osmbonuspack provides a number of drivers to search several online resources for POIs, including turn by turn directions.
