Intro


For any application or product monitoring and usage statistics is undoubtedly one of very demanded and most helpful when it comes to evaluate any planning to be done or decisions to be taken.

At present for on-premises SAP Fiori system there isn't a out-of-the box SAP standard UI5 application(s) or ABAP report for usage of various SAPUI5 applications hosted/configured onto Fiori launchpad, meaning users can’t run a ABAP report/open UI5 app and have the list of most popular SAP Fiori applications or pull user statistics.
Currently SAP didn’t provide any tools to track the usage of the application (Tiles) in the launchpad. I came across several option & suggestions but none of them were really giving the real usages.

This is something many people have been looking for since the beginning of the SAP Fiori offering. So we thought(nikita_bhat and myself) to come up with a custom framework solution based on the SAP Fiori launchpad plugin. The technical artifacts reside on Fiori gateway central hub system that collects data for each of backend systems in the landscape.

This is an open source project and we look forward for all of you to make use of it and come forward for improvements/feedback and features.
