I am trying to find out whether it is possible to track usage of assets in Umbraco 7? For example, I'd like to see a list of content items where a certain media file is used. How can this functionality be implemented?
I have to say, as of yet I've not seen anything that does this. However the following two Packages have (I think recently) emerged onto Our. Although they don't give media information they do give document type/composition type information and identify things that aren't used.

Hi Alex,
I have to say, as of yet I've not seen anything that does this. However the following two Packages have (I think recently) emerged onto Our. Although they don't give media information they do give document type/composition type information and identify things that aren't used.
Umbraco Cleanup Manager
Umbraco Backoffice Visualization
Both of them have their sourcecode available and could provide insight into finding out what you are after.
There is an excellent package at
https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/media-content-usage/
which keeps track of the Media usage in Richtext editor.
Simply install, ensure the data-type is created under Developer->Data types
then under Settings-> Media-> Types-> add this dataype to the media types.
It worked quite well for identifying the media being used in richtext editor pages.
cheers
Package "Media content" usage looks exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
