Refresh Monitoring

A refresh fails at 3 AM and nobody knows until the CFO opens a stale report at 9 AM.

Never find out about a failed refresh from an end user again.

  • Pinpoint exactly which table caused a slowdown
  • Fix refresh issues before users notice
  • Track refresh trends across months, not just 30 days

Why this matters

See the difference refresh monitoring makes for your team.

Without SummitView
  • Generic “refresh failed” email with no root cause or fix guidance
  • No visibility into which table caused a slow refresh
  • No detection when a scheduled refresh silently doesn’t run
With SummitView
  • Error context, affected table, and recommended fix in every alert
  • Per-table timing vs historical average with faster/slower badges
  • Missing refresh detection catches what Power BI can’t log

Key capabilities

Failure Context & Fix

See why a refresh failed with the error message, affected table, and a recommended fix — not just a generic failure notification.

Per-Table Timing

See exactly which table is slow, with duration compared to historical averages. Model build time shown separately.

Missing Refresh Detection

Catch refreshes that were expected but never ran — the silent killer of data freshness.

Duration Trends

Track refresh durations over time to anticipate timeouts before they happen.

Every Refresh, One View

All refreshes across every workspace in a single list — no more checking datasets one by one in Power BI.

Up and running in minutes

Three steps. No code changes. No Power BI modifications.

1

Connect via Cloud Connect or the optional Windows agent — SummitView starts collecting refresh data across all workspaces automatically.

2

For PPU and Fabric workspaces, per-table timing is captured via the Enhanced Refresh API. Pro workspaces get full status tracking.

3

Failures, slow refreshes, and missing refreshes trigger alerts via Teams, Slack, or email — with error context, affected table, and a recommended fix.

Works with every license tier

No matter your Power BI license, refresh monitoring is included.

Power BI Pro

Core monitoring, usage tracking, alerting

Premium Per User

All Pro features + per-table timing, paginated reports

Microsoft Fabric

All PPU features + capacity metrics, throttling detection

Refresh Monitoring works on all Power BI license types. Per-table timing requires PPU or Fabric. Pro workspaces get full refresh status tracking via the agent, or basic status via Cloud Connect.
