What is the Tenant setting name for exporting embedded viewership data as part of Usage metrics?

Currently we have a microsoft extract that generates an audit log for viewership data that includes power bi report and its associated views/users on a bi weekly basis, but it does not include the viewership data (Report View Activity) for embedded reports (Yellow visual below).  Is there a tenant setting that can be turned on to include this ?

See screenshot attached - referring to the visual in yellow.

1. Enable Audit Log for Power BI

  • Office 365 Security & Compliance Center:
    • Go to the Microsoft 365 Compliance Center or Microsoft 365 Security Center.
    • Navigate to Audit and then Audit log search.
    • Ensure that audit logging is enabled for Power BI.

2. Power BI Service Configuration

  • Tenant Settings:
    • In the Power BI Service, go to the Admin Portal (you need admin rights to access this).
    • Check the tenant settings under Tenant settings.
    • Ensure that the settings related to Export and sharing and Usage metrics are configured properly.
    • Note that viewership data for embedded reports might not be available through traditional audit logs if embedded analytics settings or configurations are not set correctly.

Do you have any Microsoft documentation that helps support this setting configuration? This is what I found so far:

 

1. Discrepancies between audit logs and usage metrics - Monitor report usage metrics - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

2. Usage metrics does not capture views from embedded dashboards and reports - Monitor report usage metrics - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
