Analytics Architecture
Analytics is a business intelligence tool that provides the customers with additional reporting options along with those offered in the core product.
Overview
The following image illustrates how Analytics coexists with your core instance. It is important to note that reports from Analytics rely on data in the Data Mart database. For this reason, the Data Mart database must be updated periodically.

note
Data Mart implements automatic data retention policies that affect the availability of historical data in Analytics reports. For details on data retention periods and configuration, see Data Retention Configuration.
