You need to implement a solution to monitor the performance of your Fabric workspaces and identify bottlenecks. You want to visualize key metrics like query execution times and data refresh…

While Fabric can integrate with Azure Monitor, the Monitoring Hub is the primary and most direct tool within Fabric itself for comprehensive performance monitoring and visualization, requiring less setup for common needs.

Configuring email alerts only provides notifications when thresholds are met; it does not provide the comprehensive visualization of key metrics required to identify bottlenecks proactively.

The Fabric Monitoring Hub is the dedicated, integrated solution within Microsoft Fabric for tracking workspace activity, item status, and performance metrics such as query execution times and data refresh durations. It provides built-in visualizations and allows for setting up custom alerts directly within the Fabric environment.

Exporting audit logs to Azure Blob Storage for analysis with custom scripts is a reactive and manual process that requires significant development effort and does not provide real-time visualization or immediate insights into performance bottlenecks.
