Embedded capacity Gen2 Memory Usage

Hi all,   Any one has idea how to track the memory usage of Gen2 embedded capacity? Is it still not available due to (preview) mode?    One of our report has failed to refresh with below error: ...

Hi kelvinngai ,

 

For this kind of problems, 

you can select the gear icon Gear icon in the upper-right corner Manage group storage. To check the size of your storage capacity, and the size of the specific dataset imported. When you try to perform an action that will reach one of the limits,  you can manage your storage to reduce your storage amount and get past the limit.

For workspaces in Premium capacity: There is a limit of 100 TB per Premium capacity and there is no per-user storage limit. According to your needs, choose different types of SKUs to manage your resource allocation.

 

In additional, you can use Monitor Premium capacities with the app to making informed decisions on how best to utilize your Premium capacity resources. 

 

 

For more details, you can read related document:

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.


Best Regards,
Henry

Hi v-henryk-mstf ,

 

Thank you so much for reply.

 

For my case, it is not the storage issue. The dataset size is very small, only 5MB. 

It is the memory issue. I read a lot documents 

There are still some questions:

1.  Why the error message did not show the memory usage? In the sample error message, it shows the how many memory is consumed, the limt etc...

2. How to keep track the embeded Gen 2 capacity's memory usage? 

There is no such information in metric App and Azure.  Only CPU usage information is available

 

Thanks 

Kelvin

    Hi kelvinngai ,

     

    I think you can use the Power BI Premium Capacity Metrics app. to manage the health and capacity of your Power BI Premium subscription. There is a key indicator in it is to monitor active memory.

    To determine whether there is enough memory to complete its workload, you can refer to the A: Percentage of memory consumption visualization at the top of the page, which represents the memory consumed by the data set being actively processed. Then make a series of adjustments.

     

    For more details, you can read related document:

      Hi v-henryk-mstf 

       

      Thank you for your reply. 

      Premium Capacity Metrics app is what I expected it can show, but it did not. 

      That is why I asked here someone else have the same issue that the metrics app is not working for Gen2 capacity yet?

      The Metric App cannot show any Memory usage for Gen2 capacity. It can only show CPU usage

       

      Thanks 

      Kelvin

        I have the same out of memory errors, and it's weird we cannot monitor memory usage in Premium Capacity Metrics app nor in Azure monitoring... we're blind waiting a long time for Microsoft engineering support - with no solution yet.
