Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to solve a problem that i have but i am starting to think that maybe i've pushed myself into a corner so to speak.
I've made a my visuals (the fromtend, if you will) for a "logging framework" using PowerBi Reports, where i use Azure log analytics in the background to get data for my different resources in azure by exporting datasets from and importing them to my PowerBi report. Then i published the report to app.powerbi.com so that i could embed it in my sharepoint.
The problem i have is with the refresh rates using a standard tier account/ subscription.
The Power Bi documentations specify that with a standard subscription i can only refresh the report 8 times a day (as in if i where to have premium i would be able to do it 48 times a day). And thats not optimal for a logging framework, at least not in my case...
Then i found that Power BI has a Rest API that i can use to refresh the reports with:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/refreshdataset
The questions i have are:
If i was to develop lets say a WebJob that refreshes the report lets say every 5 minutes or so, does my subscription still restrict me to 8 refreshes a day? Even though i use the refresh endpoint?
Lets assume worst case scenario, is there any other solution to this without having to scale up my subscription?
Thanks in advance // John
