Real time usage metrics in Power BI report

[Rat1]

Can we integrate real time usage metrics in Power BI report. For example 10 users are viewing the report right now.

I think the closest you could get is configuring an azure log analytics connection to a workspace:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/log-analytics/desktop-log-analytics-overvi...

Any event is then available within 5 minutes.

You can then direct query against it to report in power bi:

Not tried it myself I'm afraid. I use the rest api to get logs once a day.
