I was working on PR and sent some usage statistics by parsing queries that we store. I tried sending a dummy user which does not exist in the system. We are using OIDC (google login). A gray circle started showing up in Top users. Now I wanted to clean it up. Tried running restore indices job with the

clean

argument as mentioned in docs. I thought that would clean it up. But I am still seeing this. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Are these usage statistics stored somewhere other than elasticsearch?

They are in the usage_stats index of Elastic

I think we should somehow show the username even if it’s a service user (like chartio, looker users) I’m facing a similar issue. Most of the queries are exeuted by ChartIO and Looker users. They are not directly registered to DataHub so they seem gray without any additional information 😕

got it -- yes we should definitely show the username

It’s working as expected at 0.8.16. 🙂

w00t!
