Usage tracking for Power BI embedded reports

[dmkblesser]

Hi there,

Just want to get a confirmation on whether usage tracking with Power BI embedded reports are supported now. 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/monitor-power-bi-embedded-reference

This document in 2023 states that usage metric is still unavailable for Power BI embedded reports. 

If that is not supported, any suggestions on third party tools to pull the usage data? 

I also ran across this post here. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/reference/tables/tables-resourcetype#power-bi-...

I don't have access to the azure portal yet but just wondering if the azure monitor can provide some usage information for Power BI Embedded reports. 

Thanks!

Hi @dmkblesser 

If you enable the azure log in lyrics where you're running your power BI embedded, you can then use the Azure monitor to query and get the details around your usage reports in terms of what users are using which reports, how long their queries are taking to run. Etc.
