real-time dashboard
10 TopicsBest Way to Monitor Marketing Campaign Performance in Real Time Using Microsoft Fabric or Power BI?
Hi everyone, I'm building a real-time dashboard in Power BI to monitor social media marketing campaigns. The goal is to combine data from platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Google Analytics into a single dashboard. I would like to track metrics such as: Impressions Reach Clicks CTR (Click-Through Rate) Engagement Rate Conversions ROI (Return on Investment) I'm considering using Azure Data Factory, Azure SQL, and Power BI for data collection and visualization. Has anyone implemented a similar solution? Which architecture or Microsoft services would you recommend for near real-time reporting? Any best practices for handling automatic refreshes, data modeling, and performance optimization would be greatly appreciated? I also put together a guide on social media analytics and campaign monitoring on my website. If sharing resources is allowed here, I'd be happy to share it with anyone who is interested. Thanks in advance for your suggestions! Luv Kalra166Views1like4CommentsReal-Time Dashboard continuous refresh no longer refreshes faster than 10 seconds
Hi everyone, Until last week, I had an option in Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Dashboard to configure refresh as Continuous, meaning that visuals would refresh whenever new data arrived, with the maximum time without new data being around 10 seconds. After the latest update, which I believe was released yesterday, the behavior seems to have changed. Continuous refresh now appears to be enabled by default, but the minimum refresh interval is 10 seconds, so it does not seem possible to refresh faster than every 10 seconds anymore. Also, for visuals that do not support continuous refresh, or when no new data arrives, the dashboard now seems to refresh every 30 seconds. My questions are: Is there still a way to configure Real-Time Dashboard visuals to refresh faster than 10 seconds? Is the old continuous refresh behavior still available somewhere in the settings? Is there any workaround for achieving near real-time refresh when data arrives, instead of waiting for the fixed interval? Was this change intentional as part of the latest Fabric update? This is important for our use case because we monitor live operational data, and even a 10–30 second delay can make the dashboard less useful compared to the previous behavior. Thanks in advance for any clarification or suggestions.Solved1.2KViews0likes6CommentsError in Microsoft Applied Skills: Implement a Real-Time Intelligence Assessment Lab : Need help
Hello All, since a week I was stuck on one error in Microsoft Applied Skills: Implement a Real-Time Intelligence solution with Microsoft Fabric Lab. Did anyone face the same issue if so, can anyone help me out how to resolve it. Attaching the error and related images below. Error: It says " unable to load container blobs. Verify that workspace identity is enabled and has storage blob data reader access to the storage account" . I am familiar with this permission and have enabled it in my own azure environment for my own blob that I have created but since these are pre created by Microsoft, I don't have access to these storage blobs and hence I am not sure how to proceed here. I have attempted this twice but I was stuck at the same point. I really appreciate your help and taking time in looking into my post. Thank you so much.Solved1.8KViews0likes7CommentsError while saving a dashboard having a Tile with a simple table

Dear community members, Need your kind assistance . When I am trying to make line graph on Real time dashbaord. Microsoft applies forced UTC interpretation on all datetime fields only in dashboard streaming tiles I push 2026‑02‑02 14:00 (SGT) Power BI assumes it is 2026‑02‑02 14:00 UTC Then Power BI converts it to your browser local zone (SGT) Becomes 22:00 on the tile. I need to have same timestamp on line graph, that i am pushing using streaming type dataset. Is there a way to achieve that?Solved6.4KViews0likes5CommentsAzure Maps base layer not loading in Real-Time Dashboard - Only points visible
Hi Fabric Community, I'm experiencing an issue with Map visualizations in Real-Time Dashboards. The data points are rendering correctly, but the Azure Maps base layer (streets, terrain, satellite) is not loading - only a white/blank background appears. **Environment:** - Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Intelligence - Real-Time Dashboard with KQL queries - Eventhouse as data source - Browser: Chrome/Edge (tested both) - Region: South Central US **Steps to reproduce:** 1. Create a KQL query with latitude/longitude columns 2. Add to Real-Time Dashboard 3. Change visual type to "Map" 4. Configure: Latitude column, Longitude column, Label column 5. Points appear but no map background **What I see:** - Colored circles representing my 10 GPS devices - Correct relative positions between points - Zoom controls (+/-) present but don't show map tiles - "Center" button works for positioning **What I expected:** - Azure Maps base layer with streets/roads visible behind the points **Troubleshooting attempted:** - Tried different browsers (Chrome, Edge) - Cleared browser cache - Verified coordinates are correct (Mexico City area: 19.5, -99.3) - Checked browser console - no obvious errors **Questions:** 1. Is there a known issue with Azure Maps in Real-Time Dashboards? 2. Are there specific tenant/admin settings required for Azure Maps? 3. Is this a preview limitation? Screenshots attached showing points without map background. Thank you for any guidance!Solved4.1KViews0likes2CommentsIssue Writing to OneLake-Enabled KQL Database Delta Tables
I enabled OneLake availability for my KQL database so the tables are exposed as Delta or Parquet files. I’m able to read the table using Parquet without any issues: df = spark.read.format("parquet").load(abfsspath) However, when I try to overwrite or append data to the table, it fails: append_df.write.format("delta").mode("append").save(abfsspath) I receive the following error: Operation failed: "Forbidden", 403, AuthorizationPermissionMismatch "This request is not authorized to perform this operation using this permission." I am the workspace admin, and I don’t want to ingest data using the conventional KQL ingestion methods because they are too slow for my use case. I specifically need to write records directly using Delta or Parquet. Could you help me understand how to enable this write operation for Delta tables?Solved4.2KViews0likes8CommentsArchitecture & GPS hardware
Hello Fabric community, I'm building a fleet monitoring platform for trucks/vehicles and need architectural guidance for using Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Intelligence, as well as GPS hardware recommendations. MY SCENARIO: ------------ - GPS trackers sending location data every 10-60 seconds via TCP - Data includes: GPS coordinates, speed, fuel level, engine RPM, temperature sensors, driver behavior (harsh braking, acceleration) - Need to support multiple tenants (each customer sees only their own fleet) - Planning to scale from 50 vehicles to 1000+ vehicles - Want real-time dashboards + historical analytics + automated alerts - Future: add video/dashcam capabilities MY PLANNED ARCHITECTURE: ------------------------ GPS Devices → TCP Server (Traccar/custom) → Azure Event Hub → Fabric Eventstream → Eventhouse → Real-Time Dashboard QUESTIONS: GPS Hardware: ------------- 1. What GPS tracker brands/models do you recommend that integrate well with custom backends and Microsoft Fabric? I'm considering Teltonika FMC920, Queclink, or Concox - any experience with these? 2. Which GPS devices have the best open protocols for parsing data and sending to Azure/Fabric? 3. Any recommendations for GPS trackers with OBD-II support to read vehicle diagnostics (fuel, RPM, error codes)? Microsoft Fabric Architecture: ------------------------------ 4. Is Eventstream + Eventhouse the right approach for high-frequency GPS telemetry data? 5. What's the recommended way to implement multi-tenancy (row-level security) for different fleet customers? 6. Should I use KQL Database or Lakehouse for storing historical GPS data (months/years)? 7. Any recommendations for handling geofencing alerts in real-time using Activator? 8. What Fabric SKU (F4, F8, F16?) would you recommend starting with for ~100 vehicles sending data every 30 seconds? I'm based in Mexico and planning to deploy this commercially for fleet owners. Any guidance from people who have built similar IoT/telematics solutions with Fabric would be greatly appreciated!
