Power BI Desktop: Monitoring the performance and memory usage of a Pbix file

Hello

Is there a view that can be used for the memory consumption and RAM/CPU process of a PBIX file?

And also something that can predict based on the current rate of data processing, power bi can then advise that at the end of the year nexy could max 10 gigs if you are a user, consider moving to OLAP tools like SSAS?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I am afraid that Power BI doesn't have such a visual. You could post your idea here to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner. I think the easiest way is to monitor CPU/memory in the task manager.
