Can I Get Hourly Activity Reports from Outlook and Teams for Everyone in My Organization?
Asked by

I'm looking to gather activity logs for all users in my organization over a three-month time frame. Specifically, I need these logs to show hourly activity rather than total or daily counts. For example, I want to see how many emails were sent and how many Teams messages were exchanged last Thursday between 1 PM and 4 PM, or for any specific time window. Is this something that can be done? I've tried searching without much luck.

This request sounds pretty unreasonable, honestly. If it’s just for productivity tracking, there are better metrics to use without digging through so many logs. Maybe explain that this data won't be very useful?

You might find what you need in the Purview audit logs, which should contain the activity you're after.

Honestly, I'd suggest just being clear about the workload involved. Microsoft is apparently rolling out some new tracking features soon, so maybe it’s worth waiting a bit.

Just a heads up, depending on how many users your organization has, this might be a huge task. Sifting through all that data can be overwhelming, and you might end up with a lot of irrelevant info mixed in. It's a big undertaking if there are many active users.

Getting detailed hourly logs is technically possible, but it would take a lot of parsing and effort to make sense of it all. If your boss is really insistent, using some compliance reports might help, but be prepared for a tedious process.
