Pipeline CU Reporting Issue - Documentation

[Joshrodgers123]

Documentation for pipelines show the below message indicating that there is an issue with under reporting of CUs. The documentation was last updated more than 6 months ago. Is this issue still occuring or are the CUs showing in the Capacity metrics app for pipeline runs accurate?

Hi @Joshrodgers123 

The latest update to the Microsoft Fabric Capacity Metrics application documentation was made in July 2024. This indicates that the app has been updated since January and any issues previously reported may have been resolved.

Understand the metrics app compute page - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

The current documentation states that CU consumption reported in the Fabric Capacity Metrics application should accurately reflect pipe consumption.

Hi @Joshrodgers123 

I can't find an official explanation on this issue at the moment. However, there are cases that have shown that using F4 for testing, CU can be consumed in about 12 hours.

This is in line with the actual situation.

You can use Data warehouse billing and utilization reporting - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn to check how much CU is consumed per dataflowgen2, datapipeline, and so on.

About how to calculate the CU consumption of different Fabric operation more detailed information, you can refer to Fabric operations - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn.

Hi,

I understand how to check the CU consumption. The documentation states that the CU consumption is reporting wrong and the issue will be corrected shortly, yet the documenation was last updated in January.

I am looking for confirmation that the documentation is either correct, or outdated and the CUs reported in the Fabric Capacity Metrics app are what is actually being consumed by pipelines.

Are you able to provide confirmation on this?
