How monitoring the consumed CU for a running data pipeling

Hi,

in order to check the execution of a data pipeline I need to monitor the related consumed CU.

The Activity runs doesn't show any information about it in order to keep under control the Fabric capacity.

Any suggests to me, please? Thanks

Different from classic Power BI workloads like semantic model and DF Gen1 refreshes, the CUs for pipelines, notebooks and DF Gen2 start piling up as soon as the activity starts (ie doesn't wait for the activity to complete).  Then it plateaus for the smoothing period and then it decreases.  You will have to manually look at each of the 30 second slots in the Capacity Metrics App to find out how many CUs your pipeline is consuming in that slot.

Hi, so I have to control the consumed CU for a pipeline necessarily by the Capacity Metrics App and not outside of it. It's not very comfortable. How can I detect a pipeline run into the Capacity Metrics App? Thanks
