Provide analysis of how our Power BI dashboards/reports are being used:

Hit count, Q&A queries ran, filters applied, common actions etc.

This would allow us to track the importance and use of our reporting and see how different users interact with the data.

RE: Power BI usage statistics

Being able to optimize synonym tables and create lists of top Q&A questions would be super helpful.

RE: Power BI usage statistics

We regularly track user statistics in order to decide which old reports are mostly used and which ones needs to be erased. So, it's critical for our company.

RE: Power BI usage statistics

'Data set refresh stats (how often, amount of data pulled from on premise, Azure, etc.), User access, new reports (or report create date for all reports), same for dashboards...

- List all data sources and then consuming datasets so we can see redundancy of datasets.

-failed logins

- Failed data set refreshes with reasons

-list of all gateways status and all pertinent stats

-lineage reports (what datasets are used by what reports and dashboards), same for reports

-Content pack stats, how many are deployed and by who, what the consumption is, how much was personalized
