Streamming Real Time with/without FIFO policy?

I am generating real time data with Apache NiFi which goes to a streamming API dataset in Power BI Service. But I understand I also have to implement the FIFO policy, I just don't understand how nor where: in NiFi, in Power BI? Is that policy needed to have historical data?

 

I know microsoft offers this documentation, but it didn't help me.

https://docs.microsoft.com/es-es/power-bi/developer/automation/api-automatic-retention-policy-for-real-time-data

 

I am asking this because: today, the visuals from the dashboards just stopped refreshing, I only get new data if I manually refresh the dashboard.

 

Thanks in advance!

    Anonymous - Not entirely certain I understand what you are asking but generally to store historical information for a real time data set you would pipe it through Azure Stream Analytics and have an output to something like blob storage.

      Hi Greg_Deckler !

       

      I am not using Azure Stream Analytics, I am using Apache NiFi instad to pipe data into the Power BI Service data set.

       

      My other problem is that yestarday all flows stopped refreshing the dashboards. I only get new data when I refresh the dashboard manually.
