Monitor computer use (preview)

[This article is prerelease documentation and is subject to change.]

To check what computer use did during a run:

1. Go to the Activity section of your agent and select a run.
2. On the run details page, switch between the Activity map and Transcript views.

The Transcript view shows how computer use follows your instructions, providing a step-by-step log with reasoning messages and screenshots for each action.

Advanced computer use activity

Storing computer use logs in Dataverse provides enhanced capabilities for reporting, human supervision, auditing, and troubleshooting. When these logs are stored in Dataverse (default setting), you can view detailed activity information in the side panel by selecting a computer use action from the activity map.

Dataverse storage

When you turn on the Computer Use feature in the Power Platform admin center, the Store logs in Dataverse option is on by default. If you turn off this setting, only default activity logs appear. When enabled, logs consume a combination of Dataverse capacity:

• Database capacity (flowsession table and flowsessionbinary metadata)
• Log capacity (flowlog table)
• File storage capacity (flowsessionbinary file attachments)

Ensure you have sufficient capacity and that your retention period and verbosity settings align with your requirements.

Configure advanced computer use logging

Follow these steps to configure or verify advanced computer use logging:

1. Go to Power Platform admin center, select your environment, and open the Features area.

2. Scroll down to the Computer Use settings and ensure Store logs in Dataverse is turned on (default setting).

   Note

   The following advanced computer use log settings don't affect how agent transcripts (including any computer use logs) are stored. Transcripts continue to include basic computer use logs, screenshots, and all other agent and tool logs, regardless of the configuration here.

3. Review or change the Computer use logs verbosity level:

   • All data (default) - Stores the complete set of advanced computer use logs.
   • Data without screenshots - Stores the same content as with All data, except the screenshots.
   • Minimal - Currently behaves the same as Data without screenshots, but this behavior might change in a future release.

4. Review or change the Log retention time to match your data retention timeframes:

   • Default: 7 days (10,080 minutes)
   • Maximum: 33,554,432 minutes
   • To keep logs forever, enter 0 or -1 as a custom value and ignore the unit dropdown.

5. (Optional) Turn on Send audit logs to Microsoft Purview if you want computer use run logs to be available in Microsoft Purview:

   • Once enabled, logs appear under the activity term CUAOperation.
   • This setting is independent of the previous two settings.
