Power Apps analytics

Telemetry offers crucial insights into the internal workings of an application and the services used. In the absence of such data, understanding what is going on in your app would essentially be like going blind. Telemetry empowers you to identify and monitor specific operations, thereby helping you understand if the system is operating as expected or if certain aspects are detrimentally impacting it.

When you augment applications utilizing custom components or introducing server-side logic, telemetry becomes your guide. It allows you to perceive the influence these elements may impose on performance and presents opportunities for optimization, inclusive of design modifications if necessary.

Moreover, telemetry plays a pivotal role in monitoring overall performance trends, enabling you to take preemptive actions to manage them instead of simply responding to user incidents.
