Copilot Usage Metrics Dashboard and API in Public Preview

Author: Allison

The GitHub Copilot usage metrics dashboard and its corresponding API are now available in public preview for GitHub Enterprise customers. This release provides enterprise administrators and billing managers with detailed visibility into how Copilot is used across organizations, moving beyond simply tracking AI adoption to understanding engagement quality and usage depth.

What’s Included in the Public Preview

Dashboard Access: The Copilot usage metrics dashboard is accessible under the Insights tab for enterprise-level management.
Granular Metrics: Offers both enterprise-level aggregation and user-level details via an NDJSON download or API.
Key Metrics Provided:
- Daily and weekly active users across IDE modes (including agent mode)
- Agent adoption rates across user base
- Lines of code added and deleted in all IDE modes
- Programming language and model usage patterns

These metrics help answer fundamental questions about Copilot’s role in enterprise development, such as:

Overall usage and adoption at the organizational level
Which AI models and languages are most frequently used
Agent adoption for advanced tasks like refactoring or debugging

Enabling Copilot Usage Metrics

By default, the metrics feature is disabled unless activated during the private preview. To enable:

Go to your AI Controls tab on github.com.
Select Copilot in the left sidebar.
Find the “Metrics” section and set Copilot usage metrics to Enabled.
Once enabled, access the dashboard in the Insights tab or use the Enterprise and user-level API.
