@SpaneshS  - We used Log Analytics to create a similar dashboard. You need to set up Log Analytics workspace in Azure and link with Power BI workspace. Once you start caoturing the logs, you can build a report out of it. There is also a template provided by Microsoft.

You can also look at getting power bi activity data from Office 365 Audit centre or Power BI REST APIs. And, build your monitoring report. Below are some ideas.

Alternatively,  have a look at the template apps that Microsft provides. It shows some data related to dataset refreshes.
