Extending Power Automate Run History Beyond 28 Days Using Cloud Flow Run Metadata
Power Automate is integral to many businesses, enabling automation and integration across various workflows. However, a key limitation is the default 28-day retention for cloud flow execution history, posing challenges like difficulty in long-term troubleshooting and trend analysis. Organizations often resort to manual exports for retention beyond this period. Microsoft addressed this by introducing Cloud Flow Run Metadata in Dataverse, which allows the retention of cloud flow execution data beyond the default period. The article outlines steps to extend flow run retention using the FlowRunTimeToLiveInSeconds parameter, retrieve metadata, and develop a dashboard for monitoring flow metrics such as Total Runs, Successful Runs, Failed Runs, and Success Rates. This customized dashboard aids in enhancing operational insights, SLA monitoring, and failure analytics, providing a foundation for extended visibility and monitoring of critical workflows beyond the Power Automate portal's limitations.
