(Livestream Replay) Supercharge your Power BI Monitoring with Argus PBI - with Greg Baldini

DESCRIPTION ๐Ÿ“„

You need to know what's going on in your Power BI tenant. There is a wealth of information available in the Power BI Admin APIs, data to support all sorts of operational monitoring and analytics: unified refresh monitoring, cross-workspace report usage, end-to-end security lineage (who can see what sources, who has actually viewed data from those), datasource refresh utilization (are you slamming one database with dozens of refreshes at 8am every day?), and so much more. Busy Power BI Administrators and Operators need this information, and they can't wait for it. Argus PBI provides turnkey whole-tenant monitoring.

Join Argus cofounder Greg Baldini as he shows off the insights available when you combine data available from those APIs.
