  2. Go to the SharePoint admin center.

  3. Select Apps on the left, and then select Monitor Apps.

  4. To add apps to the list, select Add App.

  5. Search for the app(s) you want to add, or select from the list of available apps, and then select Add.

View app details or errors

  2. Go to the SharePoint admin center.

  3. Select Apps on the left, and then select Monitor Apps.

  4. Point to the app for which you want to view information, select the check box that appears, and then do one of the following

To do this:

Do this:

View the details about the app such as:

  • number of licenses purchased or used

  • counts of errors and installs

  • usage information

  1. Select View Details on the ribbon.

  2. In the Usage section, select Days, Months, or Years to change the timeframe for the usage information that displays in the chart.

View error information for an app

  1. Select View Errors on the ribbon.

  • If you no longer want to monitor an app, you can select it on the Monitor Apps page, and select Remove App on the ribbon.

  • App usage and error detail information is processed by different timer jobs that are pre-configured to run at set times for SharePoint Online. These timer jobs pick up events for the previous day. For this reason, the data visible on the Monitor Apps page may be delayed for up to 29 hours.
