When Power BI executes queries against SQL Server, it connects using the Mashup Engine or Mashup Engine (%HostContext%)) as program_name.
In a crowded environment, it can be difficult to identify which semantic model is responsible for activity or issues on the SQL Server side. The desired outcome is to be able to run sp_whoisactive (or query sysprocesses) and see the semantic model name in the program_name column (or something that easily idenfity the source of the query).
For example:
Mashup Engine - Semantic Model "Sales_Model_A" (Name or GUID)
