Hello! Thanks so much for reaching out! I think you're right - we definitely need to make this clearer in the spec and in the documentation here: https://docs.rstudio.com/connect/admin/historical-information/#shiny-application-events
I will share this information with our team and we will work to improve that documentation!
In the meantime, although there may be other meanings I am forgetting off of the top of my head, a NULL
in the user_guid
usually means that the access to the content was "unauthenticated" / "anonymous." (I.e. if the content allows access by "Anyone - no login required" and the person who viewed the content did not have a RStudio Connect login session active when they viewed the content).
One other tidbit - there is a package called connectapi that might help with some of this work if you are using R! Specifically, there are functions get_usage_static()
and get_usage_shiny()
that automate paging, etc.
