Get info on dataflow metrics and errors

I have quite some (PowerApps) dataflows, in multiple tenants and environments.

For all these dataflows I would like to get the metrics and errors when they occur, so we can take action.

Some flows are quite critical, being refreshed very frequently, and need therefore immediate attention when they fail somehow...

 

I know we can use the (preview) trigger "When a dataflow refresh completes", but that would mean I have to create a flow for each dataflow.

I have also come accros this blog post: Extract refresh metrics for your entire Power BI workspace – Data – Marc (data-marc.com), but that is quite heavy stuff 🙂

 

Are there any other ways to get these metrics centrally, or a "simple" way to get notified when dataflows fail?

 

Thanks,

Koen

    Hi KJanssens,

     

    I'm afraid there's no out-of-the-box option for this right now. PowerShell (or the Power BI REST API's) are your best friend here, as Marc explains in his post.
