Have you noticed that when you first setup Desktop Analytics the DA portal may not show the data for first few days. The console shows that it can take 2-3 days to process the data.

Set up Desktop Analytics in the Azure portal

So what exactly happens during these first 72 hours.

  • The devices (Active devices) in your setup send diagnostic data to the Desktop Analytics service.
  • Once the data is sent, the Desktop Analytics service processes the data.
  • If you have connected ConfigMgr with Desktop Analytics, the service synchronizes with your Configuration Manager site.

List of Desktop Analytics Log Files

The Desktop Analytics log files are located under %ProgramFiles%\Configuration Manager\Logs\. The log files on the Configuration Manager client are in the following directory – %WinDir%\CCM\logs.

Altogether there are five log files out of which, four of them are located on server that hosts service connection point role. On the client machine there is only one log file.
