Power BI Audit Log API - Missing Operations

We use the Power Bi audit log api to capture a long term history of usage for reporting purposes. I pull in all the info for the previous day each morning but have been questioned on why we do not have any operations for AnalyzeInExcel.  Seems to be missing for all of our history.  Is this a permissions issue. I am using a service principal to pull this data. I assume if I can pull data from the audit logs that I should be able get it all. Any help would be appreacited. Thanks

Hi @wkmaylish ,

 

According to the offical REST API blog, I think there is no limitation in getting audit log by Power BI Rest API.

I think "AnalyzeInExcel" is named as "Analyzed Power BI report" in audit log. Make sure whether you can find "Analyzed Power BI report" in audit log you got by Rest API.
