Hello ramankr48 

The Real-Time Dashboard uses a pull/polling mechanism to read data from the KQL Database table(s).

 

Keep in mind that there can be a delay between the arrival of the data in the database and the actual representation of those points in the dashboard. 

 

The dashboard update is done time-after-time when set to Continuous (a spinning wheel is shown as an indication of each update).

 

At this time, Eventhouse (and the underlying Azure Data Explorer) do not support CDC and Dashboarding tools in general use polling.

 

I'm not familiar with the PowerBI (which pulls data on refresh when using Direct Query for KQL queries) settings regarding the minimal update frequency, but it will not be as fast as the Real-Time Dashboard.

 

Check out Managed Grafana as an alternative which is popular for Engineer and Operator personas.
