Monitoring considerations for Microsoft Sustainability Manager

  • Only environments with Dataverse provide auditing capabilities (access logs) at the environment and database layer. You can view and consume the logs from Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
  • Auditing for environments with Dataverse is off by default, and you can't enable auditing during provisioning. After you create the environment, you can enable auditing within the environment settings.
  • Power Platform admin center provides default analytics capabilities for the various Power Platform components, such as Dataverse, Power Apps, and Power Automate.
  • Power Platform admins can configure data export for all Power Apps in the tenant and export to an Azure Data Lake Storage (Gen2) account. This setup gives you an overview of the adoption, usage, inventory, and application metadata.
  • For each environment with Dataverse, Power Platform admins can export Dataverse diagnostics to an Azure Application Insights instance. These diagnostics include API usage, form load diagnostics, and performance metrics.
  • Activity logs for Power Apps are integrated with Microsoft Purview compliance portal, which provides an API to query the data.
  • Power Platform provides connectors specifically for management scenarios so organizations can build on top of existing capabilities provided natively in the platform.
  • Evaluate the latency of data updates in Power Platform admin center Dataverse analytics.
  • Enable analytics data export to Data Lake or Application Insights.
  • Ensure that your data stored in the cloud, hybrid, and on-premises is classified and cataloged, reflecting one of the essential elements of a security model. Microsoft Purview can connect to and classify Dataverse and Power BI used in Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability.
