Hey team,
we are using the Get Activity events api, to retrieve activities.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/get-activity-events
What we are looking for is to get the last RefreshDataset activity event for a set of datasets.
I can see the refreshdataset activity when i refresh on-demand. However, a scheduled refresh doesn't seem to log the event.
I want to know from this group if anyone has experienced this issue?.: RefreshDataset activity being logged for an on-demand refresh,but not for a scheduled refresh.
Also, please Is there any documentation available anywere stating what all events are being captured as part of PowerBI audit ?
Your response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi. The thing is that this are events logging user behaviour. That's an automated behaviour. You can check all the activities logged at this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/enterprise/service-admin-auditing
If you want to check the refresh of datasets there is a request for getting refresh history:

I hope that helps,
Happy to help!
