Salesforce Monitoring KPIs GermainUX provides preconfigured KPIs for monitoring Salesforce Classic, Lightning Experience, Salesforce Mobile, APIs, Apex, Flow, Event Monitoring, Omni-Channel, and related platform services. These KPIs help teams analyze:

User experience and application responsiveness
User adoption and behavior
Business-process performance
Record and configuration changes
Salesforce limits and resource consumption
Instance availability

Show all 9

Security and real-time events
Apex, Flow, and database execution
Debug logs and Event Monitoring logs

The KPIs available in your environment depend on your Salesforce licenses, permissions, enabled event types, and GermainUX monitoring configuration. Custom KPIs and business processes can also be created.

KPI levels

Level	Purpose
UX	Measures the experience and behavior of Salesforce users, including sessions, clicks, pages, business processes, and adoption.
Technology	Measures Salesforce services, APIs, runtime activity, limits, code execution, logs, security events, and instance health.

A KPI can be available at both levels when it supports user-experience and technical analysis.

Real User Experience KPIs

User session KPIs

Salesforce user sessions can be analyzed using the standard GermainUX session-monitoring KPIs. Depending on the monitoring configuration, these KPIs capture session duration, activity, errors, page usage, and replay data. See User Monitoring and Session Replay KPIs.

Omni-Channel KPIs

Omni-Channel monitoring provides KPIs for agent presence, capacity, assigned work, queue activity, and routing-related events. See Omni-Channel Monitoring Configuration.

Click KPIs

KPI	Level	Data model	Description
Salesforce Outbound HTTP Request	Technology	`OutboundHttpRequest`	Measures the duration, in seconds, of an outbound HTTP request initiated by Salesforce.
Salesforce User Click	UX	`UserClick`	Measures the cumulative duration of Salesforce requests and events occurring between two consecutive user clicks. Both synchronous and asynchronous transactions can contribute to the duration.

The Salesforce User Click KPI can be used to identify slow user interactions even when one click initiates multiple Salesforce requests. See Salesforce User Click Analysis.

Business Process KPIs

Business-process KPIs correlate multiple user actions into a complete Salesforce workflow.

KPI	Level	Data model	Description
Salesforce Case Open To Close BP	UX	`GenericBusinessProcess`	Measures the complete lifecycle of a Case, from creation or opening through closure, based on captured user activity.
Salesforce Case Open To Close BP Step	UX	`GenericBusinessProcessStep`	Measures an individual step within the Case open-to-close process.
Salesforce Opportunity BP	UX	`GenericBusinessProcess`	Measures an Opportunity-related process beginning with login and continuing through creation of a new Opportunity.
Salesforce Opportunity BP Step	UX	`GenericBusinessProcessStep`	Measures an individual step within the Opportunity process.

When a custom business process is configured, GermainUX automatically creates corresponding process and process-step KPIs.

Data-change KPIs

KPI	Level	Data model	Description
Salesforce Record Created	UX	`SalesforceAuditLog`	Records the creation of a Salesforce record detected through user-experience monitoring.
Salesforce Record Updated	UX	`SalesforceAuditLog`	Records an update to a Salesforce record detected through user-experience monitoring.

For broader record-change and administrative auditing, also configure Salesforce Audit Monitoring.

Salesforce Setup Audit	Technology	`GenericEvent`	Captures Salesforce Setup Audit activity collected through the REST API.
Salesforce Platform Event Usage Metric	Technology	`GenericMetric`	Measures Platform Event publishing and CometD client-delivery usage.

Resource usage should be monitored against Salesforce limits so that alerts can be raised before a limit disrupts users or integrations.
