Somehow, that just feels better the logs that are generated by default will already enable a log of PKI metrics without modelling them explicitely in the process. But for some, you need to generate extra data. Or e.g. extract the right information from the users domain model in order to get the KPI's into a generic scheme and display them without coding a custom query that spans over jBPM and user tables.
