Live Production Database Replication
A read-only live production database replication instance we can query to help us troubleshoot issues and also get up-to-the-minute data on user, course and enrollment issues/status.
Other LMS solutions do offer this and it is extremely helpful to system admins.
Attempting to get full loads of large datasets like enrollment data from the API is a very tedious & inefficient programmatic looping task. Having a read-only database replication from our live production instances would really help. Canvas can exclude any technical fields/tables/views/procedures from our view that they deem inappropriate for customers to have access to. We mainly need User, Course, Enrollment and Activity data.
