Monitoring considerations for Emissions Impact Dashboard

  • Data provider services for Emissions Impact Dashboards aren't accessible outside Power BI.
  • Power BI activity log keeps activity data for 30 days (public preview).
  • There's no user interface to search the Power BI activity log yet. Administrators can download activity log entries by using a Power BI REST API and management cmdlet. There can be a lag of up to 30 minutes to retrieve Power BI events.
  • Microsoft Purview stores audit logs for 90 days. For longer access to Power BI audit logs, you can extract, transform, and load Power BI activity event logs to the Log Analytics workspace and query from the loaded logs.

Checklist

How are you operating your Emissions Impact Dashboards?

  • Ensure you enable auditing in Power BI.
  • Before your Microsoft 365 renewal, download all historical data and reports you'll need for your records.
  • To ensure that the report successfully refreshes over time, the admin credentials of the user who connects the application to your organization's data must be valid over time.

Best practices

  • Enable audit logging in Power BI. For more information, see Audit and usage settings. There can be a 48-hour delay between the time you enable the audit and when you can view the audit data.
  • Periodically, you might receive update notifications from App Source/Power BI about a new version of the app. Be sure to use the latest version.
