Real-Time Capacity Intelligence: Monitoring, Alerting, and Analytics with Fabric Capacity Events

Microsoft Fabric introduces Capacity Overview Events (Summary + State) and the upcoming Capacity Operation Events, enabling organizations to understand, monitor, and react to capacity behavior in real time. This session provides a deep dive into how Capacity Events flow through the Real-Time Hub, how they can trigger actions using Activator, and how they can be routed into Eventstream and Eventhouse for richer analytics, historical investigation, and capacity planning.

Through scenario-driven examples inspired by customers, you’ll see how organizations use Capacity Events for alerting, workload balancing, automated scaling, detailed chargeback, and deep investigation of overconsumption patterns.

We will also cover architecture recommendations using Eventstreams + Eventhouse including filtering, routing patterns, monitoring multiple capacities, and designing for long-term retention and analytics.

Attendees will leave with practical guidance for:
• Real-time intervention using Activator and alerts
• Setting up pipelines for historical analysis and investigations
• Understanding costs, event frequency, and architectural trade-offs

This session is ideal for Fabric admins, capacity owners, and engineers building observability, governance, or automation around Fabric workloads.

• How to set up real-time alerts and automated actions using Capacity Events • Patterns for routing and analyzing events with Eventstreams and Eventhouse • Techniques to investigate, optimize, and plan capacity usage across workloads
