Azure Backup Reports
A new feature is in public preview, the Azure Backup Reports. Now we can have the Azure Backup Reports at the OMS Workspace, Event Hub and Power Bi. You can use Power BI to view report dashboard, download reports and create custom reports
The configuration has two steps, one to configure the Azure Backup Reports connection with each service and the other is to get the data at each service.
First go to a Recovery Services vault and select Backup Reports. Next press the Configure button.

The Diagnostic settings blade will open. Change the Status to “On” and select the desired services to collect the Azure Backup Logs.

For the Power Bi integration we need a Storage account. So check the “Archive to storage account” option and select a storage account. The storage account must be at the same region as the Azure Backup account.

To integrate with OMS check the “Send to Log Analytics” option and select an OMS Workspace.

An other option is to stream the Azure Backup logs to event hub. To configure it check the “Stream to an event hub” and select the event hub namespace and policy name.

Press next and Save. Now the Azure Backup workspace is ready. Be patient, it needs time to start reporting data.

If you go back to the Azure Portal, the Backup Reports blade has changed and it only has the option to connect to your Power Bi dashboard.
