Microsoft Dataverse analytics

We've improved how you view metrics for your organization. You no longer need to install or update a solution. Instead, you can view Dataverse analytics right from the Microsoft Power Platform admin center to quickly view adoption and user metrics for your organization.

To access these reports:

  1. Go to the navigation bar on the left side.
  2. Select Analytics.
  3. Select Dataverse.
  4. View the reports on the right side.

Who can view these reports?

Admins with the following roles and a license can view the reports in Dataverse analytics:

  • Environment Admin - can view reports for the environments that the admin has access to.
  • Power Platform admin – can view reports for all environments.
  • Dynamics 365 admin - can view reports for all environments.
  • Microsoft 365 Global admin – can view reports for all environments.

For more information on the different roles for managing your tenant across the platform, see Use service admin roles to manage your tenant.

Key highlights

  • Monitor adoption and use: Identify your most active users, the number and types of operations they're performing, number of pages requests, most-used entities, workflows, plug-ins, and more, over a period of time as you work toward your adoption goals.

  • Manage storage and performance: Monitor storage quotas, storage use, and top tables by size to optimize performance.

  • Troubleshoot effectively: Drill down into the details of your top failing workflows and API calls to quickly diagnose and troubleshoot errors.

API peak call rate report (preview)

Important

  • This is a preview feature.
  • Preview features aren’t meant for production use and may have restricted functionality. These features are available before an official release so that customers can get early access and provide feedback.

The API peak call rate report shows API usage graph with the number of requests per user/application for the selected interval. This report helps you monitor the API usage, and avoid hitting the service protection limits.

A screenshot of API peak call rate graph

Chart element Description
SDSService and OData The bars show the max number of API requests by app/users within 5-min interval. The maximum is the number of requests per user per five minutes that is based on your licenses and capacity add-ons.
API Peak limit The peak requests per second recorded by the request count API limit. This is a measure of request count per unit time.

Analyze API peak call rate

To help interpret and act on the capacity, the graph shows the API peak limit. The bars show the max number of API requests by app/users within a 5-minute interval. The maximum is the number of requests per user per five minutes that is based on your licenses and capacity add-ons.

You can also have a direct view of where your actual use of capacity is relative to the limit so you can be sure that you are within the limit.

When the graph shows that your requests per user/app are beyond the peak limit (identified with a red line), it means that you have reached a peak and your requests are being throttled. Report shows data using a single unit of measure to make it easy to get an overview of API utilization.

API peak call rate is calculated as the maximum of one of the following:

  • The peak requests per second (RPS) recorded by the request count API limit. This is a measure of request count per unit time.
  • The peak cumulative execution time recorded by the time API limit. Each 150 ms of request execution time is counted as one API call, and then summed up for every 5-minute interval. This is a measure of compute time, converted to an equivalent number of API calls per unit time.

For more information about the API count and time limits, refer to service protection API limits.

Example scenarios

API peak call rate is based on either the number of requests or execution time measured by the service protection limits, whichever is greater. One request is equivalent to 150ms of execution time measured by the time limit.

The scenarios below show how the peak call rate is derived based on either request count or execution time using 150ms as the conversion factor from time to count.

Scenario 1: Client sends 150,000 web API calls in 5 minutes that each execute for 50ms.

  • Count is 500 requests per second (150,000 per 5 minutes is 30,000 per minute)
  • Time is equivalent to 17 requests per second (750,000ms total time, or 5000 calls per 5 minutes (750,000ms / 150ms))

Request count is higher in this case, so the peak rate displayed is 500 requests per second.

Scenario 2: Client sends 300 web API calls in 5 minutes that each execute for 10 seconds.

  • Count is 1 request per second (there are 300 seconds in 5 minutes)
  • Time is equivalent to 67 requests per second (3,000,000ms total time, or 20,000 API calls per 5 minutes (3,000,000ms / 150ms).

Execution time converts to a higher request count in this case, so the peak rate displayed is 67 API calls per second.

Optimize API peak call rate

The usage graph can help you identify what users/applications are approaching or exceeding the service protection limits and take actions to mitigate it as necessary.

To optimize limit, consider reducing the number of API requests by user/app or increase the limit by adding more capacity and bring the peak limit (identified with a red line) higher.
