Getting Process ID using M in Power BI desktop
- 10 years ago
There's currently no way to do this -- and to be honest, we're not likely to add it. But I'm still curious to understand how this is used by the web service you're trying to access.

this allows us to maintain context from where requests are coming from. When requests come into load balancers, you always get the same IP not the original IP the request came from.

What's the unit of granularity that would be most useful here? The machine? The query? A single process can be used for multiple queries, and the same (or similar) queries could come from multiple processes.

Hi Curth,
My name is Jose and I would like to know if this feature was added. We are in a similar situation to the orginal poster and would like to receive some sort of unique identifier, preferably the process id as well as the machine name. We need something that is a unique id. I had asked one of your representatives if that option was available and they stated that it was not, but would be by 2016. Do you know if this feature was added or if there is any way of obtaining some unique identifier we could use?
Thank You,
Jose
