I have a model with a table that is direct query, and the backend database is Synapse. When I apply filters to get a result set in PBI, I can see the wheel running as it's querying the data. However, when I go into Synapse and look at Query Monitor, I don't see the query at all.
This is running from my desktop, I'm just confused as to why I don't see the query and can't figure it out.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi jdbmwl,
Can you try to follow below links to debug and identify what is happening in Synapse?
If you are using - Serverless SQL Pool:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/monitor-synapse-analytics
If you are using - Dedicated SQL Pool
https://docs.azure.cn/en-us/synapse-analytics/sql-data-warehouse/monitor-sql-pool-synapse-analytics
SELECT
request_id, status, command, start_time, total_elapsed_time
FROM
sys.dm_pdw_exec_requests
WHERE
login_name = 'YourPowerBIUser'
If you are using connecting through a Gateway or using Azure Analysis Services / Power BI Service:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/data-integration/gateway/service-gateway-performance
Please go through the above links.

I am using a Dedicated SQL Pool, that link sent me to a not found page BTW, however, the query you posted showed me what I was looking for. I'm still researching why I can see the query in that list, but the Dedicated SQL Pool monitor through Azure does not show those requests.
Appreciate the info!
