See It, Fix It, Optimize It: Monitoring That Works in Microsoft Fabric
Regular 50 minute session for SQLBits 2026TL; DR
Stop guessing and start solving. Learn to master Microsoft Fabric diagnostics to spot bottlenecks, resolve pipeline failures fast and optimize capacity. Turn data chaos into clarity with real-world monitoring tips for a healthy environment.
Session Details
As organizations migrate to Microsoft Fabric, the excitement of a unified data platform is often met with a new challenge: "How do I actually know what’s happening under the hood?" Between Spark notebooks, Data Factory pipelines and Power BI semantic models; the "data chaos" can quickly become overwhelming if you don’t have a clear diagnostic strategy.
In this session, we move past the theory and get into the "how-to" of maintaining a high-performance environment. We will dive deep into the diagnostic tools available within Fabric to help you spot problems fast—before they impact your end users or your budget.
We will walk through a practical framework designed to turn telemetry into action:
- The Diagnostic Toolkit:
Master the Monitoring Hub and the Capacity Metrics App to identify which workloads are consuming your CU (Capacity Units) and why.
- Rapid Troubleshooting:
Learn "See It, Fix It" workflows for common failures in Spark jobs and Data Factory activities using native logs and Query Insights.
- The Healthy Fabric Habit:
Real-world optimization tricks to prevent "Throttling" and "Smoothing" issues, ensuring your environment remains responsive even during peak loads.
Don't let your Fabric environment become a black box. Join us to learn the monitoring tips and optimization tricks that transform operational noise into architectural clarity.
