• Feature Request – Dashboard for Audit Log Retention Tracking in Power Platform

    Currently, there is no centralized dashboard available to track audit log settings and retention periods across environments in Power Platform. This creates a visibility gap for administrators who need to monitor and manage data governance effectively.

    We’ve observed the following:

    • Audit logs can have their retention period set to "forever", which may lead to excessive Dataverse storage usage if not regularly monitored.
    • At present, admins must manually access each environment’s settings to review audit log status and retention configuration.
    • There is no consolidated view to track Dataverse audit log usage, retention periods, or potential overuse risks.


    We propose a feature enhancement to include a dashboard in the Power Platform Admin Center that provides:

    • A summary view of audit log status and retention periods for each environment.
    • Alerts or indicators for environments with indefinite retention settings.
    • Usage statistics showing how much Dataverse space is consumed by audit logs.
    • Add two new actions(get audit settings and update audit settings) in the PowerPlatformforAdmins connector.

    This would enable admins to take proactive measures for capacity planning and ensure compliance with internal data retention policies.

    Thank you for considering this request.
