Power BI Embedded Azure Memory Usage

Hello,

 

I can't seem to find a separate forum for power BI embedded, so I decided to post here.

 

I have a power BI embedded implementation, with level A2 subscription, that uses import data sets only, and I am having issues with my "Average Memory Usage". My tier has 5 GB of memory available, and even though there are no data-sets being refreshed, or published, the memory usage goes all the way up to 80-95% and stays there. Google analytics shows that no one is using the website, and still, the memory usage is almost maxed.

Is there any way to show the breakdown of the memory usage anywhere? If there is 4.9 GB of memory being used, I would like to track down what processes are causing it, and the breakdown of usage.

Hi @Lohrasp,

 

According to your description, it seems like you want to know more about usage of azure resource. I'd like to suggest you contact to azure support to confirm which place spend your resources.

 

In addition, how many records your handling? If high memory usage is due to data amount. Currently I haven't found any effective solutions to resolve it except upgrade your license.

Developer forum is for power bi embedded and rest api related issues, maybe you can post to that forum to get better support.

 

Regards,

Xiaoxin Sheng
