Devon and Cornwall Microsoft Power BI User Group

Monitoring your Microsoft Fabric & Power BI environment can be a daunting task. As Fabric admins, how can we ensure content is being used, scheduled jobs are running, access rights are appropriate, and best practices are being followed? What native features are available to monitor our Fabric environment? When should we consider building our own admin tools?

This session will provide an overview of native and custom options for monitoring Fabric. We'll dive into examples of how we can write Notebooks which use the Fabric REST API and Semantic Link to significantly enhance our governance, administration, and monitoring experience.

Join us as we realize the full potential of custom admin tooling, and share useful patterns and key insights from real-world experience.

No session - holiday
