API - ActivityEvents returns duplicate activity id

We ran into an issue processing the Power BI activity events in our datawarehouse.

Processing a table for building op history ran into in error, as we received the same activity id twice (54b5324d-4d3a-441d-a282-224f3a47d69d). An error occurred since we use the attribute [id] as a business key for building up history, i.e. to determine if an activity event record is new or updated.

 

How is this possible? Attribute [id] is defined in the MS documentation as being the unique identifier of an audit record.

We also noted that the attribute [Activity] has the following value: 'ArtifactAccessRequest'. The above mentioned activity id is the only activity event we ever extracted that has this value for attribute [Activity].

 

Kind regards,

Ryan Beijers

Same issue here with "ArtifactAccessRequest". I've seen one of the duplicates include ArtifactId and other Artifact attributes, whilst the other doesn't, but has "ObjectDisplayName" attribute instead. 

 

However, I also have a couple of instances of other events which have pure duplicates (exactly same ID and all other attributes), sepcifically one "View Dashboard" and one "ViewReport".

 

Got to be a bug!
