How to use mashup engine trace logs for troubleshooting

Mashup engine trace logs contain diagnostic information about the performed actions of the One Identity Safeguard Power BI Connector (Power BI Connector). Collecting mashup engine trace logs is not enabled by default in the Power BI Connector, and One Identity recommends that you enable collecting them if you have previously encountered any issues using the Power BI Connector.

How to enable mashup engine trace logs in your Power BI Desktop application and where to find them

To enable mashup engine trace logs in your Power BI Desktop application, follow the procedure in Collecting mashup traces in the online Power BI get started documentation.

NOTE: Including the contents of the Traces\Performance folder is not required for the ZIP file you send for troubleshooting.

NOTE: If you close and reopen the Power BI Desktop application, this setting resets, so you have to enable trace logs again.

If you encounter any issues with the Power BI Connector, One Identity Support can help you with troubleshooting if you have mashup engine trace logs enabled and collected.

To use mashup engine trace logs for troubleshooting

  1. Enable mashup engine trace logs in your Power BI Desktop application.

  2. Reproduce the issue and compress the required contents into a ZIP file.

  3. Create a One Identity Technical case.

  4. Attach the ZIP file to the newly created technical case.
