Power Apps metrics and recommendations

Metric definitions

Type	Metric	Definition
Canvas apps	App open success rate	A percentage that describes how often end users are able to successfully open the app.
Canvas apps	Time to interactive (TTI)	The time (in seconds) that end users have to wait to interact with the first screen that's displayed after the app opens.
Canvas apps	Time to full load (TTFL)	The time (in seconds) that end users have to wait to have all the data requests for the first screen that's displayed after the app opens.

Metric and recommendation pairings

Metric	Secondary metric	Title of recommendation	Description of recommendation
App Open Success Rate	ErrorCode = AppForbidden	Evaluate if the app should be shared with users without permission	X% of sessions ended without users accessing the app because users didn't have permission to access the app. It's possible that the app may benefit from being shared with more users. The logs show which users—without permissions—are attempting to open the app.
Time to interactive	Not applicable	Users wait longer to access the app due to high App.OnStart latencies	App.OnStart durations impact end-user wait times to access an app. Evaluate simplifying Power Fx in App.OnStart and moving some Power Fx to App.Formulas.
Time to full load	Not applicable	Users wait longer to see data in the app due to many data requests during app start up	More data requests correlate with longer end-user wait times to meaningfully use an app. Evaluate reducing data calls in App.OnStart and screen.OnVisible and move Power Fx to App.Formulas.

Monitoring experiences for makers

When tenant-level analytics are turned on, metrics and logs are available to makers. Makers can view only metrics and logs for which they have edit privileges.

Two environment-level settings, described in the following sections, control what analytics information is available to makers. The first setting, Get-AdminPowerAppEnvironmentMakerAnalyticsSettings, which is on be default, controls whether makers can view any analytics data in monitoring experiences, including metrics and logs. The second setting, Set-AdminPowerAppEnvironmentMakerAnalyticsSettings, which is off be default, controls whether makers can view End User Pseudonymous Identifiers (EUPI) such as session IDs and user object IDs in event logs.

Frequently asked questions

Why do makers in my organizations receive a message that settings must be turned on for their monitoring experience?

In addition to the tenant-level analytics setting, the environment-level Analytics data available to Makers setting must be turned on. The availability of monitoring health metrics, logs, and recommendations in maker monitoring experiences is based on tenant and environment settings.
