Metric and recommendation pairings

Metric Secondary metric Title of recommendation Description of recommendation
App Open Success Rate ErrorCode = AppForbidden Evaluate if the app should be shared with users without permission X% of sessions ended without users accessing the app because users didn't have permission to access the app. It's possible that the app may benefit from being shared with more users. The logs show which users—without permissions—are attempting to open the app.
Time to interactive Not applicable Users wait longer to access the app due to high App.OnStart latencies App.OnStart durations impact end-user wait times to access an app. Evaluate simplifying Power Fx in App.OnStart and moving some Power Fx to App.Formulas.
Time to full load Not applicable Users wait longer to see data in the app due to many data requests during app start up More data requests correlate with longer end-user wait times to meaningfully use an app. Evaluate reducing data calls in App.OnStart and screen.OnVisible and move Power Fx to App.Formulas.
Row summary dwell time Not applicable Users may not be engaging fully with row summaries Improve summaries by adjusting the summary prompt for the table. Summary details that are seen for at least 10 seconds correlates with increased engagement and higher user satisfaction.

Monitoring experiences for makers

When tenant-level analytics are turned on, metrics and logs are available to makers. Makers can view only metrics and logs for which they have edit privileges.

Two environment-level settings, described in the following sections, control what analytics information is available to makers. The first setting, Get-AdminPowerAppEnvironmentMakerAnalyticsSettings, which is on be default, controls whether makers can view any analytics data in monitoring experiences, including metrics and logs. The second setting, Set-AdminPowerAppEnvironmentMakerAnalyticsSettings, which is off be default, controls whether makers can view End User Pseudonymous Identifiers (EUPI) such as session IDs and user object IDs in event logs.

Frequently asked questions

Why do makers in my organizations receive a message that settings must be turned on for their monitoring experience?

In addition to the tenant-level analytics setting, the environment-level Analytics data available to Makers setting must be turned on. The availability of monitoring health metrics, logs, and recommendations in maker monitoring experiences is based on tenant and environment settings.

Are tenant-level analytics turned on? Is analytics data available to makers? Is the environment a Managed Environment? Are operational health metrics available? Are logs available? Are recommendations available?
