With the increasing user base for PowerBI, it would be nice to capture below details in the audit logs for better management.
* Session log in timestamp
* Session close/log out timestamp
* Location of the User
* Session duration
* User actions on the dashboard like actions on slicers, page visits, page filters, report filters, data exports, time spent on each page etc.,

RE: Audit log improvements

I am surprise that we need vote to improve power BI.
Microsoft should have included this logging capability by default as that is needed by most organization

Necessary for potential use with CJIS applications, nationwide.

RE: Audit log improvements

Capturing the report filter and value to the log is essential to auditing, along with the "Audit log improvements" noted.

RE: Audit log improvements

Adding all the above mentioned improvements are very useful.

Especially, capturing report parameter and values in the audit log!

RE: Audit log improvements

PBI's ability to report on itself is lacking significantly. Please provide improved holistic administrative reporting and cohesive API endpoints to make administration not an obstacle to adoption. It's missing features like these that keep us on competitors products.

RE: Audit log improvements

1.We should also have details on the data being displayed to user.
2. There shall be ability to sniff through the newly created/refreshed dashboard for any PII or PCI information.
3. We can not just depend on Metadata, example the field name may be Nick Name, but one might store the PII data in it.
4. Ability to restrict users from creating or sharing information
