    A connector that can automatically pull data from the windows event log system using the xml formatting of events.

    Importing Windows Event Logs (.evtx) into PowerBI in general would be nice. Many server applications store events in the Windows Event Logs and being able to import those into PowerBI without manually converting them to CSV files would greatly improve dashboard automation.

    RE: Windows Event Log

    I would like to build a ETL Power BI dashboard to monitor SSIS daily runs. SQL Agent, SQL Server and the Windows machine they all run on would be a part of this dashboard. Therefore, logging from SSIS packages to the windows Event Log sounds like a feasible integrated solution.
