Auditing, Usage Analytics & Logging with Power BI Sentinel
Auditing tracks and logs who is creating, changing and deleting Power BI content, including reports, data flows, workspaces, datasets, Apps and Dashboards.
Power BI Sentinel's Usage Analytics tracks which users
are accessing which reports, and when.
This enables you to monitor Power BI adoption, check whether your users are actually consuming the Power BI content that you're providing them with, and monitor access from a security perspective.

Common scenarios and Business Cases
You've paid for a large number of new Power BI licences, or have upgraded to Premium Capacity. You need to monitor the adoption rate to see whether you're getting value from those licences.
Power BI Sentinel allows you to monitor, by date and/or time, which users are accessing which reports and in which workspaces. You can then monitor this over time to track adoption within the business.
Your CEO runs a report to retrieve an urgent KPI, but the report has broken and the data is incorrect.
Use Power BI Sentinel audit logs to see exactly who has edited the backing data on this report. Then follow up with Change Tracking to see exactly what the change was, down to the changes in the DAX calculations. Finally roll the report back and fix it quickly using backups.
You want to make a significant change to a report, but want to engage with business users on the proposed changes before making them.
Power BI Sentinel easily allows you to identify these users, allowing you to engage with them early in the process, preventing any backlash or problems.
