Capacity overview events and Timepoints details
Hello rgsalido
Welcome to this Fabric Community forum.
Regarding the Fabric Capacity overview events, I checked the documentation.
There, you can access these events via the Real-Time Hub:
I tested this shortly, and it seems available as an Eventstream source.
Unfortunately, I do not have the right permissions. You need to be an administrator:
These rights limitations seem fair due to the wish to access the capacity itself.

Hi rgsalido,
svelde is correct, if you are a Fabric Administrator, you can set this up now for Capacity Overview Events, which will tell you the overall usage of your capacity, and let you know when the capacity state changes (goes into interactive delay, interactive rejection, or background rejection).
You can see more details here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/real-time-hub/create-streams-fabric-capacity-overview-eventsAs long as you have the correct permissions, setting this up is very easy and takes about 5 minutes. You just need to click on the source in the real time hub, select which capacity you wish to monitor, select an eventstream (or create a new one), and then configure a destination.
On the roadmap currently scheduled for Q3 2026, but this date has been pushed back a few times, is Capacity Operation Events, which should give us more granular details about which items are using capacity, instead of just what the total capacity usage is as a whole.
Right, the most detailed information is something that was in the preview but disappeared. It provided operation-level info, just like you have in the capacity metrics. In the preview, the user relationship was missing, which they were going to add. Now the key is knowing when this information will be back since it would be really useful to control overages in the interactive and avoid the small delay that Capacity Metrics has.
Hi rgsalido,
The "more detailed" or operation level events are not something that have ever been in a public preview.
If you had access to the private preview that may or may not have contained these events, talking publicly about what was in the private preview is a violation of the NDA signed while joining the private preview, so I would advise against that.Hopefully the operation events come soon and then those of us that may or may not have built cool things in the private preview will be able to share publicly.
