Tracking usage in Publish to web

Hey, 

I know that both usage metrics and audit logs are used to track usage of dashboards and reports for users with accounts on the power BI service and within a tenant. 
But what about tracking usage for users from the web, how do I track their usage of my published to web report ?

Is it only possible with platforms like Google analytics? or is there a way to see the usage (even anonymously) with audit log ?

 

 

Thank you.

Hi @nada_g ,

 

From my research, you could use Audio log search in the O365.

 

And to my knowledge, usage metrics is good as for trace view information, current it not works on 'publish to web' contents, maybe you can try to use power bi embedded to instead.

 

But this is at idea/feedback level alone. May be , hopes Power Bi will implement this in nearby future.

 

If you also want this in power bi, let the power bi community to know this things and give your votes at power bi site's feedback -https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=b7f9cfb4-314a-4f82-bf57-51ec46112e75
