Getting Activity Logs on the Report Page level

[pontushaglund]

When using the built in Usage Metrics report it is possible to view usage down to the report page level:

When accessing the Power BI Logs using either PowerShell or the REST API I can only get usage down to the Report level, not down to the report page level. If we can only get data down to the report level we are driven to create reports with only one page to be able to get full statistics.

Is it possible to get data on the page level? What am I missing?

We are almost end 2023 and still it's not there. Any chance with Log Analytics ?

Hi, 

Does anyone know if something was change in that case? Is it possible to get data on the page level now?

[lbendlin]

Still waiting for that feature.

[MarcinSz]

Thank you.

My workaround is to activate the usage metrics report for the worksapces, then you can retrieve page level usage stats from the underlying dataset, either through XMLA or REST API https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/execute-queries

Hi @Martin_D 

Your solution sounds very interesting, but how do you connect to the underlying dataset?

When I connect to the XMLA Endpoint of the workspace I cannot see the dataset of the Usage Metrics. 

Thank you!

Hi @Parrunis ,

It's only there after you have created the usage metrics report for any of the reports in the workspace. Then it's hidden if you try to live-connect from Power BI Desktop, but you can list and query it from the REST API and XMLA API.

Thank you! I saw that the dataset was hidden right after I sent you the message. That's a very useful option!

You're not missing anything.  Well, sort of.

Basically - page level details are ONLY available in the in-workspace usage reports.

Does anyone know if this is still the case?

[lbendlin]

for the time being, yes.
