Kellyn Pot’vin-Gorman uses Power BI to analyze Power BI logs for issues:
Do I really want to go through all this data by hand? BI is a reporting tool, so what if I bring them into Power BI? Let’s start with the first MS Mashup Container log-
In Power BI, click on Get Data –> Text and change the file type to “All Files” in the explorer and go to the directory that contains the trace files:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\Traces\PerformanceRemember that you will need to have “hidden items” set to be displayed to browse down to this folder. Choose the files you wish to load in the directory and Power BI and choose a Customer delimiter of a quotes, (“) to separate the file. This will load a file that will have a few columns you’ll need to remove that contain data like colons, nulls and other syntax from the file
I like it.
