Report Server - Report Usage Statistics

Hi - PowerBI Service allows you to view report usage via the Admin Portal and in the service.  Is this possible in Report Server.  We are moving to report server and it would be nice to see report usage metrics.

    shera276 The Power BI Report Server sits on a SQL instance (the same as normal SSRS) you have access to all the capabilities and information stored in the database. the view "dbo.ExecutionLog3" will provide you the metrics that you are looking for.

      Hi shera276: I have the same question. Did you get the required audit info from this view?

      Thanks

        hernan_russy The report server won't mimc the same metrics that you see in Power BI in that view. It will essentially provide you with who or what process executed the report. I have not tested this completely with Power BI Desktop executions, but my understanding is that this will be tracked in the same fashion.
