Hi Folks,

Is there a method to access the usage of a Datasource? I’m interested in obtaining a list of datasets created using the specified Datasource.

Hi @ashutosh.kumar - Welcome to AWS QuickSight community and thanks for posting the question. You can extract all data set w.r.t a data source by the following approach.

  1. Extract all data sets from the list_data_sets api ( see the link - list_data_sets - Boto3 1.34.62 documentation)
  2. Then describe the data set and extract the data source details - see the document - describe_data_set - Boto3 1.34.62 documentation

You have to create a custom script using QuickSight API’s to achieve this.

Hi Sanjeeb
Is there any way we can check on quicksight itself.

Hi @Mudgal

There is another option which is to setup the Admin Console Dashboard. This provides you access to datasets Admin-Console-Dataset-Info which can provide you the details you seek in as QuickSight dashboard.
