Power Apps Analytics provides insights into app performance, usage, and errors. Using PowerShell, administrators can enable and retrieve analytics data to monitor Power Platform environments efficiently.
Step 1: Install Required PowerShell Modules
Ensure you have the necessary Power Platform PowerShell modules installed:
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell -Force -AllowClobber
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell -Force -AllowClobber
If prompted, press Y to confirm installation.
Step 2: Authenticate to Power Platform
Log in to Power Platform using an account with admin privileges:
Add-PowerAppsAccount
Alternatively, authenticate using Microsoft Graph for deeper reporting:
Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "User.Read.All", "AuditLog.Read.All"
Step 3: Enable Analytics for a Power Apps Environment
To enable analytics in a specific Power Platform environment:
$environmentName = "<EnvironmentID>" # Replace with your environment ID
Set-AdminPowerAppEnvironment -EnvironmentName $environmentName -EnableTelemetry $true
🔹 This command activates telemetry, allowing Power Platform to collect analytics on app usage and performance.
Step 4: Retrieve Power Apps Analytics Data
To check analytics for all Power Apps in an environment:
$environmentName = "<EnvironmentID>" # Replace with your environment ID
Get-AdminPowerApp | Where-Object { $_.EnvironmentName -eq $environmentName } |
Select DisplayName, AppName, CreatedTime, LastModifiedTime, Owner |
Format-Table -AutoSize
This provides:
App Name
Owner
Creation Date
Last Modified Date
Step 5: Retrieve User Activity Logs for Power Apps
To analyze who is using Power Apps and how often:
Get-AdminPowerAppUser -AppName "<AppName>" | Select DisplayName, UserPrincipalName, Role | Format-Table -AutoSize
🔹 This command lists all users of a specific Power App along with their roles.
Step 6: Export Analytics Data to CSV for Reporting
To save the analytics data as a CSV file for further analysis:
$outputPath = "C:\PowerPlatform\PowerAppsAnalyticsReport.csv"
Get-AdminPowerApp | Select DisplayName, AppName, Owner, CreatedTime, LastModifiedTime |
Export-Csv -Path $outputPath -NoTypeInformation
Write-Host "Power Apps Analytics Report saved at: $outputPath"
The report contains:
App Name
Owner
Creation Date
Last Modified Date
Step 7: Retrieve Error & Performance Logs
To check for app errors or performance issues:
Get-AdminPowerAppEnvironmentLog -EnvironmentName "<EnvironmentID>" -Top 10
🔹 This retrieves the last 10 logs related to performance, crashes, and errors.
Step 8: Disable Analytics (If Needed)
If you ever need to disable analytics, use:
Set-AdminPowerAppEnvironment -EnvironmentName "<EnvironmentID>" -EnableTelemetry $false
Step 9: Disconnect from Power Platform
Once done, disconnect the session:
Disconnect-MgGraph
Disconnect-PowerAppsAccount
