Semantic Model Audit

This tool is designed to provide a comprehensive audit of your Fabric semantic models.

Key Features

  1. Model Object & Metadata Capture:

    • Retrieves and standardizes the latest columns and measures using Semantic Link and Semantic Link Labs.
    • Captures dependencies among model objects to get a comprehensive view of object usage.
  2. Query Log Collection:

    • Captures both summary query counts and detailed DAX query logs.
  3. Unused Column Identification:

    • Compares lakehouse/warehouse and model metadata to identify unused columns in your model's source lakehouse/warehouse.
    • Removing unused columns will result in greater data compression and performance.
  4. Cold Cache & Resident Statistics:

    • Deploys a cloned model to measure cold cache performance.
    • Records detailed resident statistics (e.g., memory load, sizes) for each column.
  5. Star Schema Generation:

    • Produces a set of star schema tables, making it easy to integrate with reporting tools.
