other than using what i consider an extremely poor audit package to find what is used ...
i need to go the other route. 

how do i locate never-or-seldom used reports/packages ?

we dont have SDK here ... i am not sure we want to go this route, but if it's the 'only way' ... who am i to argue?

am i the only one who finds this kind of auditing in BI ... very weak?

Hi Michal,
I'd agree that the auditing package is pretty weak.  But unless you have the time and resources to take another route, it might get what you need.

You could do a simple report that returns a count of the number of times a package or report is referenced over a given period of time.  It'll require doing some ugly substrings, but you can at least find the answers you need.

not if it wasnt accessed ... it wont be in audit.    :-\

working on getting a full list of all reports, packages, paths and other info from content store, and compare it with the audit.
if / when i get it working fully ill post an update.  50% done
