In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for monitoring data activity utilizing a shared data store. These mechanisms and methods for monitoring data activity utilizing a shared data store can enable enhanced data monitoring, more efficient data storage, improved system resource utilization, etc.

1 . A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code adapted to be executed by a computer to implement a method comprising:
 identifying, by a database system that includes a plurality of servers and a distributed memory cache shared by the servers, data activity performed across the servers, the data activity including events associated with a user system coupled to the database system, wherein identifying the data activity comprises activity tracking using a request count within the distributed memory cache,   storing, by the database system, first information indicating the identified data activity;   following the storing of the first information, moving a portion of the first information to the distributed memory cache;   generating, by the database system, second information associated with the data activity from contents of the distributed memory cache, wherein the generated second information is based on a total count of activity indicated by the request count; and   providing the user system with access to the generated second information.   
     
     
         2 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein the data activity is associated with one or more users associated with the user system. 
     
     
         3 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein the data activity is associated with an application available to the user system from the database system. 
     
     
         4 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein the database system includes a multi-tenant database system. 
     
     
         5 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein the data activity relates to data that is transferred to the database system. 
     
     
         6 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein the data activity relates to application programming interface (API) calls made to the database system. 
     
     
         7 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein the portion of the first information includes data activity performed during a most recent predetermined period of time. 
     
     
         8 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 storing, within a database of the database system, the first information; and   moving the portion of the first information from the database to the distributed memory cache.   
     
     
         9 . A method, comprising:
 identifying, by a database system that includes a plurality of servers and a distributed memory cache shared by the servers, data activity performed across the servers, the data activity including events associated with a user system coupled to the database system, wherein identifying the data activity comprises activity tracking using a request count within the distributed memory cache;   storing, by the database system, first information indicating the identified data activity;   following the storing of the first information, moving a portion of the first information to the distributed memory cache;   generating, by the database system, second information associated with the data activity from contents of the distributed memory cache, wherein the generated second information is based on a total count of activity indicated by the request count; and   providing the user system with access to the generated second information.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the portion of the first information includes data activity performed during a most recent predetermined period of time. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 storing, within a database of the database system, the first information; and   moving the portion of the first information from the database to the distributed memory cache.   
     
     
         12 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a processor of a database system, the database system including a plurality of servers and a distributed memory cache shared by the servers, the processor to:
 identify data activity performed across the servers, the data activity including events associated with a user system coupled to the database system, wherein identity the data activity comprises activity tracking using a request count within the distributed memory cache; 
 store first information indicating the identified data activity; 
 following storage of the first information, move a portion of the first information to the distributed memory cache; 
 generate second information associated with the data activity from contents of the distributed memory cache, wherein the generated second information is based on a total count of activity indicated by the request count; and 
 provide the user system with access to the generated second information. 
   
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the data activity is associated with one or more users associated with the user system. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the data activity is associated with an application available to the user system from the database system. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the database system includes a multi-tenant database system. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the data activity relates to data that is transferred to the database system. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the data activity relates to application programming interface (API) calls made to the database system. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the portion of the first information includes data activity performed during a most recent predetermined period of time. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , the processor further to:
 store, within a database of the database system, the first information; and   move the portion of the first information from the database to the distributed memory cache.
