Why this matters
See the difference refresh monitoring makes for your team.
- 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
- 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
See it in action
Here's what refresh monitoring looks like inside SummitView.
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.
What you get in SummitView
no 60-entry rolling limit
Up and running in minutes
Three steps. No code changes. No Power BI modifications.
Connect via Cloud Connect or the optional Windows agent — SummitView starts collecting refresh data across all workspaces automatically.
For PPU and Fabric workspaces, per-table timing is captured via the Enhanced Refresh API. Pro workspaces get full status tracking.
Failures, slow refreshes, and missing refreshes trigger alerts via Teams, Slack, or email — with error context, affected table, and a recommended fix.

No matter your Power BI license, refresh monitoring is included.
Power BI Pro
Core monitoring, usage tracking, alerting
Premium Per User
