Conversational Development Index (ConvDev) gives you an overview of your entire
instance's feature usage, from idea to production. It looks at your usage in the
past 30 days, averaged over the number of active users in that time period. It also
provides a lead score per feature, which is calculated based on GitLab's analysis
of top performing instances, based on [usage ping data][ping] that GitLab has
collected. Your score is compared to the lead score, expressed as a percentage.
The overall index score is an average over all your feature scores.
![ConvDev index](img/convdev_index.png)
The page also provides helpful links to articles and GitLab docs, to help you
improve your scores.
Your GitLab instance's usage ping must be activated in order to use this feature.
Usage ping data is aggregated on GitLab's servers for analysis. Your usage
information is **not sent** to any other GitLab instances.
If you have just started using GitLab, it may take a few weeks for data to be
collected before this feature is available.
This feature is accessible only to a system admin, at
**Admin area > Overview > ConvDev Index**.

# Cohorts
---
redirect_to: '../instance_statistics/user_cohorts.md'
---
> **Notes:**
> [Introduced][ce-23361] in GitLab 9.1.
As a benefit of having the [usage ping active](settings/usage_statistics.md),
GitLab lets you analyze the users' activities of your GitLab installation.
Under `/admin/cohorts`, when the usage ping is active, GitLab will show the
monthly cohorts of new users and their activities over time.
## Overview
How do we read the user cohorts table? Let's take an example with the following
user cohorts.
![User cohort example](img/cohorts.png)
For the cohort of June 2016, 163 users have been added on this server and have
been active since this month. One month later, in July 2016, out of
these 163 users, 155 users (or 95% of the June cohort) are still active. Two
months later, 139 users (or 85%) are still active. 9 months later, we can see
that only 6% of this cohort are still active.
The Inactive users column shows the number of users who have been added during
the month, but who have never actually had any activity in the instance.
How do we measure the activity of users? GitLab considers a user active if:
* the user signs in
* the user has Git activity (whether push or pull).
## Setup
1. [Activate the usage ping](settings/usage_statistics.md)
2. Go to `/admin/cohorts` to see the user cohorts of the server

# Instance statistics
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/41416)
in GitLab 11.2.
Instance statistics gives users or admins access to instance-wide analytics.
They are accessible to all users by default (GitLab admins can restrict its
visibility in the [admin area](../admin_area/settings/usage_statistics.md)),
and can be accessed via the top bar.
![Instance Statistics button](img/instance_statistics_button.png)
For the statistics to show up, [usage ping must be enabled](../admin_area/settings/usage_statistics.md#usage-ping)
by an admin in the admin settings area.
There are two kinds of statistics:
- [Conversational Development (ConvDev) Index](convdev.md): Provides an overview of your entire instance's feature usage.
- [User Cohorts](user_cohorts.md): Display the monthly cohorts of new users and their activities over time.

For the cohort of Jan 2018, 15 users have been added on this server and have

still active. 6 months later (Month 6, July), we can see 10 users from this cohort
are active, or 66% of the original cohort of 15 that joined in January.
The Inactive users column shows the number of users who have been added during
the month, but who have never actually had any activity in the instance.
