Hi esjetmore,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric community forum with your query.
The Fabric Metrics App doesn’t natively provide pipeline-level CU usage here are two alternative approaches to estimate pipeline-level capacity usage:
By connecting Power BI to the Fabric Metrics App dataset, you can create a comprehensive view that aligns CU usage trends with pipeline run timestamps. This approach allows you to apply DAX measures to quantify and compare the capacity usage for each pipeline run. This method provides a more granular and accurate analysis of CU usage over time.
(OR)
Even though per-run CU usage isn’t explicitly logged, Microsoft Fabric provides CU consumption rates per activity type, allowing you to estimate usage.
- Copy Activities → ~1.5 CU-hours per hour of execution.
- Orchestration Activities → ~0.0056 CU-hours per activity run.
By multiplying these values with pipeline execution durations, you can estimate relative capacity usage per run.
