Creating a report to check my site pages for broken links

Hello,

 

I'm new to the PowerBI world and all it can do. I have been looking for a way to have a report run within the o365 environment that will tell me if links are broken on certain site pages that I manage within my org. I'm hoping PowerBI may be able to solve this but I'm unsure how to go about creating a report that will accomplish this. I wanted to see if anyone else using PowerBI for this purpose or if they went another method. 

 

It would be nice to get it even on a weekly basis to set up something like: if site page throws 404 error email certain users so myself and other site admins can remain on top of it without scowering web pages. 😄 

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Thanks for your response. ^^ I have 44 pages (and counting). Could you recommend a tool that I could use?

I realize now I might have left a key piece out. I can check broken links at external sites just fine. How would I go about creating a checker for my internal sites? Is there a built-in stat to o365 reporting in the admin console that already shows this? Does it have to be create using some other tool?

Power BI can display the results of your checks, but it is not the right tool to conduct the actual checks.  How many pages are you planning to validate?
