For better visibility of the Power BI infrastructure, a report was implemented that reads the metadata of workspaces and Power BI datasets and presents it in a report for power users.

The focus was also on analyzing performance across all workspaces. Using Log Analytics, we were able to set up detailed reporting and answer the following questions: Which dataset consumes the most resources? Which report is inefficient? Which user consumes the most resources?
