Measures reported by SPOUsrDtlsTest

It is important to audit the usage of SharePoint Online periodically. Such audits reveal if there are any inactive users on SharePoint Online. Inactive users are those who have not interacted with any file on SharePoint Online by way of creating, modifying, deleting, viewing, sharing, or synchronizing it (to clients) for a considerably long period of time. Administrators can then identify the inactive users, understand the reason for inactivity, and decide whether/not their corresponding user accounts on SharePoint Online need to be removed.

To run these useful usage audits at configured intervals, administrators can use the SharePoint Online Users test. This test reports the count of active and inactive SharePoint Online users, and alerts administrators if there is even one inactive user.

Note:

This test uses the Microsoft Graph API. Tests that use Microsoft Graph API may not start reporting metrics right away. Sometimes, they may go without reporting metrics for over 48 hours. This is normal behavior, and it occurs because, Microsoft does not collect/refresh the metrics as frequently as the test executes.

Outputs of the test: One set of results for the Office 365 tenant being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:
