Rest API and Dashboard not always updating

[njrandell]

I'm having various problems with the rest api and updates.

I've created 3 datasets, one Push, one PushStreaming and one Streaming.

When I add tiles on a dashboard showing values from the PushStreaming and Streaming datasets, I can see the columns from one of the tables (I created 2 tables in each dataset) but the tiles are blank.

If I add data from the Push or PushStreaming datasets to a report and then pin to a dashboard then those tiles update correctly.

Should I be able to create a Streaming dataset using the API and then push data into a live tile? If so, is there a clear example that shows how to do this?

This is annoying - no code changes and it's now working!

Is there somewhere we can see the detailed status of Power BI services so we know whether things are working correctly?

Another update - some of my datasets are updating, others aren't.

Is there anywhere I can see log files or work out what is going on?

I think there might be some kind of log in Power BI Service, however it seems not accessible for users. You can try to submit a support ticket.

I may have solved it - after looking carefully at the Json being sent up when adding rows, I found that I was camel casing the data.

So I was sending up

{
  "rows": [
    {
      "timestampUtc": "2017-04-07T07:20:47.8260389Z",
      "intCounter": 726,
      "floatCounter": 952.93173610834947,
      "flag": false,
      "Label": "Label 14"
    }
  ]
}

where I really should have been sending

{
  "Rows": [
    {
      "TimestampUtc": "2017-04-07T07:20:47.8260389Z",
      "IntCounter": 726,
      "FloatCounter": 952.93173610834947,
      "Flag": false,
      "Label": "Label 14"
    }
  ]
}

Hopefully this is the root cause of my issues!
