All Apps, workspaces and report usage metrics within organisation across service

[po]

Hi,

Whilst know have usage metrics report at individual report level.

We have power bi pro and variety of apps, workspaces and reports andwoudl like to see overall usage of the various apps, workspace and reports within the organisation.

Assume there is some power bi report, app which gives some overall view aleady?

Anyone aware of such.

Thanks

That the only automatic report metrics you have in power bi. You can build your own with the power bi api rest too.

I don't think you can check across all workspaces with that automatic report. You can delete the reportid to check all of them in a workspace but not across workspaces. If you want that you have to go and build a custom report usage with audit logs. You can get activities with the Power Bi Rest API and build it.

Thanks reply.

Do you/anyone have an example of report uisng activit logs. It woudl seem common requirement of any reporting tool to have auditing functionality wuch as this and imagine someone has built this already.

I don't have an example but you can check the announcement post that contains one.

There you can see how powershell gets data. You need a power bi admin account. To dip dive on this you can check: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-admin-auditing

Hope this help
