Where does the Fabric Capacity Metrics app get the data to calculate the CU % metrics? Is it possible to recreate the app using the PowerBIWorkspace Log Analytics data?
We are wondering the same thing. By all appearances the data comes from a direct query connection to
Extension{"extensionDataSourceKind":"CapacityMetricsCES","extensionDataSourcePath":"CapacityMetricsCES"}.
Yes, it looks to be a connection to a Kusto connection (using a CapacityID parameter), but I get AccessDenied no matter how I try to connect from my own Power BI file (even though I'm using the same Data Source Creditials as the Metrics app)
let
Source = (KustoFunctionName as text, optional xCapacity_ID as text,optional Timepoint as datetime,optional agoDays as text) =>
let
Source = CapacityMetricsCES.GetMetricsData(
KustoFunctionName ,
if xCapacity_ID = null then CapacityID else xCapacity_ID ,
"7E4058F3-1C1F-4C3A-8151-03D3A2C3C30X",
if agoDays = null then "13" else agoDays,
"https://pbipam.kusto.windows.net",
"pbip",
Number.FromText( UTC_offset ),
null,
DateTime.ToText(Timepoint)
)
