PBI Apps usage
Hi. Yes. You can generate a report that would help you understand specific reports or workspaces like this:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-modern-usage-metrics
It only stores 30 days.
If you want more details for all the tenant in a single place you need to build it. You can use the Power Bi Rest API to track your activity logs and build a database/warehouse of usage that then you can connect power bi desktop and develop something.

I hope that helps,

Hi ibarrau thanks very much for your reply and for sharing the useful links.
I have a few apps, which I don't think it's in use, but as you can see below, the usage metric do not track apps. Am I missing something?
Yes. It doesn't track an app as an entity because it goes furthur on the granularity and tracks reports. The data response will let you know if the report is inside a PowerBi App. Then you can check the audience to know if X people have a "View report" it probably is a view from the app. You can do some data wrangling to find some information about the use of the app. Kind off.
I hope that helps,
