I am reaching out to discuss the challenges our organization faces with Dataverse space consumption tracking and deletion job progress monitoring. Our inability to reliably track audit space consumption across environments impacts our ability to manage several terabytes of data effectively, particularly in an organization with thousands of users.

 

Furthermore, the deletion jobs' progress currently lacks informative metrics, such as percentage completed and estimated time of completion. This lack of visibility can hamper our operational efficiency and decision-making processes. Lastly, the execution time for these jobs is a concern, with some taking several days to complete, which is far from ideal. The execution time is not predictable at all. My suggestion is that you publish in your public documentation how this works in the backends, and what is the expected execution time (considering the size of the audit log), so we as administrators can plan when/how to run these jobs. 

 

Addressing these issues is crucial for maintaining our system's performance and ensuring the efficient use of our Dataverse space. I believe improvements in these areas will significantly benefit our organizational workflow and data management practices.

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns regarding the Dataverse space consumption tracking and deletion job progress monitoring. We have recently updated our documentation to include guidance on reviewing the status of bulk delete jobs related to the deletion of audit records. You can find this updated information in Method 10 of our documentation, which provides detailed instructions on how to monitor the progress of these jobs.We appreciate your suggestion to publish backend details and expected execution times for deletion jobs. We will take your suggestion into consideration for a future improvement to enhance transparency and predictability in our services.Please rest assured that addressing this issue is a priority, and Microsoft is committed to continuously maintaining and improving system performance and efficient use of Dataverse space.
