I echo the sentiment of others who mentioned making the data accessible to roles outside of O365 Admins is a key feature as well. I would argue that it should be available for viewing to anyone. In our SSRS reports, we found that exposing our Report Log usage data via linked reports was a tramendously effective way to monitor deployed report adoption and also a tramendously effective tool in assessing priority of change requests.

Is the plan to make the logs available via the Office 365 unified audit log in the protection center? Ideally I would like to have all auditing & logging events in one place.
