Usage Metrics Dataflows

[MCBPBI]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is any possibility to log and monitor the dataflow usage in Power BI Services. Since our users also access our dataflows through Excel, it's important to monitor the usage in case and changes needs to be done.

Hi @MCBPBI ,

Based on my learning, you can use a Power BI semantic model to build a dataflow monitoring report.

First, create a new streaming dataset.

Then, enter the following values.

You can view the following documents to learn about how to monitor the dataflow.

Hi again,

A while ago you came up with this solution. Actually the most important is to monitor the usage by user from the dataflows. We need to see which user is using which dataflows in Excel or other tools. Do you know if this is possible? Thanks again!
