Querying Audit log in Microsoft purview portal

Question

Hi Team,

We have requirement to display recently viewed pages by currently logged in user in SharePoint. We found that there is beta version of graph API available. It can be used to query the audit logs from Purview portal. We are able to create search queries and run it successfully. but the issue is that it will create search job in audit log page every time API is called. Could you please let me know if there is any limit on number of search jobs that can be created in purview portal under Audit log?

Hi @Dattatraya Kamthe, Anita,

Per my research, there seems no such limit on the number of search jobs. But there is a limit on download maximum of 50,000 entries to a CSV file from a single audit log search. You could refer to following document

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/audit-log-export-records#step-1-export-audit-log-search-results

And there is a limit on graph api request. You could refer to the document
