Notification when a Report is Published to Service

[GFinlayTerumo]

Hi

I need to be able to keep track of any/all PowerBI Reports that are created by Users within the company and published to a Workspace.

I need knowledge of every single Report that has been/will be created within our Tenant regardless of if I have access or not.  I have previously used a PowerShell script to export a list of all existing Reports with their Workspace and users.  The real issue is not having any visibility when a new Workspace is created or a new Report is published.  I cannot find a way to be notified, I was thinking about using AAD but I don't know where to start.

Thanks

Grant

You can either call the Power BI Scanner API yourself to get that type of info, or use a SaaS application that does so for you, such as Datalogz.

I do this by accessing the Power BI activity logs. 
You can do that with PowerShell:

You want "CreateReport" activities:

Hi again, I'm trying to filter ActivityType for CreateReport and CreateDashboard and I can't find the syntax, will I need to run a different file for each type or can I do two types in the one? Thanks

I normally pull the full log each day and save it to folder. Then read it it into power bi using data from folder. That lets me filter in report end.

Example 4 in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/guidance/admin-activity-log#example-4-view-three-activiti... however shows how you can select certain activities.
