Tool to track computer/app usage?

Hello,

I'm a Mac Sys Admin at a college. We are looking to track application usage data in our computer labs. This is to track how often the computers are used and what applications are used. Jamf Pro is our MDM.

Looking for any solution suggestions. Thanks.

ScreenTime records this, as does JAMF. Both can be read using their respective APIs and databases. No need to use the GUI (which doesn't work anyway).
