History of automatic updates errors

I would like to know if there is a way for me to have access to the entire history of errors that occurred in the automatic updates of my dashboards, so that I can monitor them and correct to stop.

Hello @rafaelcampos,

 

You can get notified immediately when a refresh fails:

 

1. In Power BI Service, go to the dataset > More Options (···) > Settings.
2. In the Scheduled Refresh section, ensure that Keep data updated is turned on.
3. Enable Send refresh failure notifications to dataset owner.

 

You can also manually check the refresh history for a dataset in Power BI Service.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi @rafaelcampos,

 

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

 

Power bi does not store a long term centralized history of all dataset refreshes. The best available option is to check the Refresh History in power bi service.
In Power bi service go to More Options (···) --> Settings --> Refresh history under the dataset. This will provide a limited history, typically covering the last 60 refreshes, older logs are not stored automatically.

This suggestion doesn't attent my demand.

I need to see the entire history. Is that possible ?

Hi @rafaelcampos,

 

Power BI does not store a complete, long-term refresh history due to certain platform limitations. By default, it stores only a limited number of refresh logs, typically covering the most recent refresh attempts for each dataset. Older logs are not retained automatically and cannot be accessed beyond the predefined retention period.

There is a database with all updates ? Find a short history at this way showed, does not solve my problem. I would like to see all my updates on my datasets at the same way to analyse all my reports.
