- Tunnel: Connected to a workspace over SSH (VS Code Remote, JetBrains Gateway) or directly used coder tunnel
- Web Terminal: Used a web terminal in a workspace

Activity API

You can use the REST API to generate reports for specific time periods and intervals. For example, "active IDE users in August, by week."

ACCESS_URL=https://coder.example.com
API_ROUTE=api/private
API_KEY=PLACEHOLDER # Use `coder tokens create`

curl --request GET \
  --url "$ACCESS_URL/$API_ROUTE/metrics/activity?\
start=2022-08-01T00:00:00.000000Z&end=2022-08-31T00:00:00.000000Z\
&category=ide\
&interval=1 week" \
--header "Session-Token: $API_KEY"

Filter by organization with org=id Other intervals include 1 week, 1 year, 90 day

Coder will return a list of active users over the time period as well as how much time each user spent with the activity (in milliseconds)
