Getting performance data from Power BI Service

I am working on a initiative to help with the overall performance of our Power BI Tenant. I would like to get the following data to perform analysis

1- CPU and Memory usage data over time

2- Volume of data in each refresh e.g. when a report x refreshed at time t, it pulled in 100MB of data. This will help me to plot data volume against time.

3- Data that helps me determine which datasource is related with which failures. Currently, when I use the Power BI API, I get refresh failures associated with a dataset. However, a dataset can have multiple datasources. Although I can inspect the errors and determine where which datasource is causing the issue. My hope is there join refresh history data that have refresh errors with datasources.
