Automate Power BI Audit log downloads using Power BI rest API

Hello

 

Is there a way to download PBI audit logs using Power BI rest API using desktop with Web option 

 

 

  • Hey smjoshi ,

     

    I recommend reading this article, it describes how you can build your own AuditLog application using Powershell to extract (download) information from the AuditLog: Build Your Own Power BI Audit Log; Usage Metrics Across the Entire Tenant - RADACAD

    Depending on your privileges, being an M365 global admin or only a Power BI Service Admin, you maybe have to adjust some of the steps, but basically, it stays the same.

     

    Hopefully, this provides an idea of how to tackle your challenge.

     

    Regards,

    Tom
