Extract Office 365 Application usage data

[aakif_aslam]

hi,

I need to know what options are available to download monthly O365 Apps usage data either with API or PowerShell commands.

Microsoft M365 Usage report has limitation of data available only for 12 months also data is not co-related to all the employees, I need to know if it is possible to extract monthly usage data of all the apps where I can map it with current employees.

Please help.

@aakif_aslam Sure, View audit logs - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

@aakif_aslam Well the Office 365 Audit logs are the best source for this kind of data, you could download at regular intervals and use incremental refresh to build up as much history as you want. Could also connect to the AAD Graph API to correlate with employees.
