After much trial and error, I found the issue and is one that can be easily replicated.
My data is displayed in a simple table and I was certain data was being pushed because as soon as I refreshed the url, the data is there...
So I backtracked:
1. Created a streaming dataset with Date and a Code_Timer,
2. Created a powershell to push today's date, and add 10 seconds every loop -- pushed this to the dataset above,
3. Created a simple table report, pinned the report to an empty dashboard.
The dashboard will beging to load (as expected) but once the 'real-estate' (meaning the size of the table visual on the dashboard) is full, it will NEVER, EVER refresh even though the data is still being pushed. The table on the dashboard doesn't know that the data has gone beyound the visualization contraints. I assume this has something to do with the FIFO setting of real-time streaming data?
Second, I thought of 'sorting' -- so I placed the data in a local sqlite table, grabbed it as a payload in asc and desc order, pushed it to the dataset -- same thing: the dataset updates, but once it's beyound the 'real-estate' of the visual, it will not refresh regardless if the data sort is coming in sorted or if you sort the data via the 'sort' on the table report.
My only option is to write the powershell so that it deletes the rows, then pushes the data.
Of course, in my setup, all I'm pushing are a few text items -- would love to use a tile with true streaming but I can't because MS won't let me show Text in a tile?
So, it's working - kind of - have this horrible flashing going on everytime I delete the rows and push in the new data. Starting to wonder if I've made a mistake going with Power BI on this build.
