Introduction
Monitor is a tool that you can launch from Microsoft Power Apps Studio to help you troubleshoot problems and improve the quality of your apps.
The key issues that you can identify by using Monitor include:
- Errors when using connectors
- Large volumes of data being sent or received
- Slow connector response times
- Unexpected interactions with controls
- Duplicate data actions
When Monitor is activated, it captures a stream of events from your running app and displays them in real time. These events include user interactions with controls and the use of data sources.
The captured data includes essential context information that helps you analyze issues. While some of this information is also available through your browser’s developer tools, Monitor adds app-specific context such as control names and formulas.
You can use these details to address identified problems and retest directly within Power Apps Studio or Monitor.

In addition to using Monitor interactively, you can enable it in published apps to collaborate with remote users during troubleshooting.
This module provides a detailed explanation of how to use Monitor as part of your regular app development process.
