Azure Analysis Services tablular model metrics

[pbartle]

Hi,

We have an Azure Analysis Services (AAS) server which has many tabular models refreshing daily. Colleagues are connecting to AAS via Power BI Desktop but my question is how can we find out who and when people have accessed the models? If people are not accessing the models, then we would like to de-commission and save money on refreshing the models.

Are the anyway to access usage metrics on an individual tabular model basis? Similar to how there is in Power BI service?

Cheers!

Hi, @pbartle 

You can use the audit log to track user activities across power Bi and Microsoft 365. You must either be a global admin or assigned the Audit Logs or View-Only Audit Logs role in Exchange Online to access the audit log. 

Please refer to the following documents to see if they are helpful to you. Track user activities in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
