Provide dataflow refresh details

When a dataflow runs long or has an error, you have to manually go to the dataflow settings, refresh history and download the CSV for more information. For appropriate refresh monitoring and trending, can we have a method that will retrieve the details of this CSV using the refresh requestId.


Thanks

  • Agreed, we have an automated process that scrapes metadata vis REST API calls for both Datasets and Dataflows refresh history. It's frustrating that the Dataset refresh history includes the Failure Reason when a Dataset fails, but Dataflow API call for Transaction History does not include the Error reason. This would be hugely beneficial and make the REST API an actual useful tool for notifications etc...

    Fully agree!

    For me, it's important to get the number of rows refrehsed for each (even successful) dataflow refresh.

    This allows me to monitor for changes that might require automatic alerts.


  • please also expose this information via APIs so it can be viewed by other tools as well and not just in the Power BI web UI
