Hi all,
I've put together a Powershell script which extracts JSON files containing the following fields by default:
"Id": "",
"RecordType": ,
"CreationTime": "",
"Operation": "",
"OrganizationId": "",
"UserType": ,
"UserKey": "",
"Workload": "",
"UserId": "",
"ClientIP": "",
"Activity": "",
"ItemName": "",
"WorkSpaceName": "",
"DatasetName": "",
"ReportName": "",
"CapacityId": "",
"CapacityName": "",
"WorkspaceId": "",
"ObjectId": "",
"DatasetId": "",
"ReportId": "",
"ArtifactId": "",
"ArtifactName": "",
"IsSuccess": ,
"ReportType": "",
"RequestId": "",
"ActivityId": "",
"DistributionMethod": "",
"ConsumptionMethod": "",
"ArtifactKind": "",
"RefreshEnforcementPolicy":
However, this only gives us reports/dashboards accessed. So if User A loads up a report, it generates a usage record in the JSON extracts. But if User A then loads up multiple pages, this level of detail isn't shown.
Is there a way to obtain the Page level/view usage from Powershell/API extracts? If it's not possible, that's fine. I would just like to know either way, so I can stop searching 🙂
The data obviously exists somewhere, as page level information is shown when we use the built in 'Report Usage Metrics'.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Not possible at the moment. There were plans for advanced telemetry (down to visual level) but these never materialized.
Not a recommendation because I've not used it but you could try Power BI Pixel by Gil Raviv Power BI Pixel - A new way to track usage on Power BI - DataChant
