Question

Your company publishes a curated BigQuery dataset as an Analytics Hub listing so that external partner organizations can subscribe to it. Leadership wants to know which partners are actually querying the shared data and how often, so they can justify continued investment and identify inactive subscribers. What is the most appropriate way to obtain this usage information?

Accepted Answer

Enable the Analytics Hub usage metrics feature on the listing to view subscriber-level query counts and activity in the exchange/listing metrics.

Answer

Grant each partner the BigQuery Data Viewer role on your source dataset and query their audit logs directly from your project.

Answer

Convert the listing into an authorized view and count rows returned per partner in your billing export.

Ask each partner to email a monthly report of their query volume against the linked dataset.
