Visualize your workspace monitoring in a Real-Time dashboard or Power BI report using Sample Templates

Fabric workspace monitoring provides rich telemetry across your workspace assets, including Eventhouses, Power BI Semantic Models, Data Engineering (GraphQL), and Mirrored Databases. The workspace monitoring data is stored in an Eventhouse, which is part of Fabric Real-Time Intelligence. This telemetry includes diagnostic logs, ingestion results, query activity, and system metrics, all of which are collected and organized in a secure, read-only Eventhouse database. To help you turn this data into actionable insights, this article guides you through connecting your monitoring data to a Real-Time Dashboard or a Power BI report using a sample end-to-end monitoring solution.

To get started, follow the end-to-end sample guide to set up the sample environment. Once complete, follow the steps in this article to learn how to connect your own monitoring data and visualize it in real time.

Prerequisites

A Power BI Premium capacity or a workspace with Microsoft Fabric-enabled capacity.
Workspace monitoring must be enabled in your workspace.
A monitoring sample workspace with the End-to-End Real-Time Intelligence sample solution setup.

Connect the sample Real-Time Dashboard

To connect the sample Real-Time dashboard to monitoring data from another workspace:

Open the folder containing the autogenerated items from the sample end-to-end solution and navigate to the Real-Time dashboard.
Open the sample dashboard and switch to Editing mode.
Go to Manage > Data Sources.
Select Add in the Data Sources side pane.
Select the KQL Database from the Monitoring Eventhouse in the workspace you want to connect to.
After you add the data source, change the display name to reflect the workspace the Monitoring database belongs to.
Finally, select Save to apply the changes.
Use the Workspace parameter to switch between Eventhouses and monitor multiple workspaces from a single dashboard.

Connect the sample Power BI Report

To connect the sample Power BI report to monitoring data from another workspace:

Open the folder containing the autogenerated items from the sample end-to-end solution and navigate to the Semantic model report.
Select the ellipsis (...) next to the report name and navigate to the Settings option.
Under the Parameters section:
1. Replace the Query URI with your Monitoring Eventhouse URI from the workspace you want to connect to.
  - Find the Monitoring Eventhouse URI by navigating to the Eventhouse's System Overview page, and locating the Query URI in the Eventhouse Details side pane.
2. Replace the Database ID with your Monitoring Eventhouse's database ID.
  - Find the database ID by navigating to the Monitoring KQL Database page in the Monitoring Eventhouse and locating the database ID in the page URL, after the /databases/ segment.
3. Select Apply to save the changes. You might be prompted to sign in and validate your credentials.
Navigate back to the autogenerated items list and refresh the Semantic model.
