You want to monitor capacity unit consumption in your Fabric data warehouse. What tools should you use?

• A. Microsoft Azure Monitor
• B. Microsoft Fabric Capacity Metrics app
• C. Microsoft Azure Data Studio
• D. Microsoft Power BI

Answer: (C)

Monitoring capacity usage in Fabric is most effectively done with the Fabric Capacity Metrics app. This built-in tool is specifically designed to track capacity unit (CU) consumption across workloads, showing real-time and historical usage, breakouts by workload, and trends to help you plan scaling and optimize performance. Other options aren’t tailored for this purpose: Azure Data Studio is a development and management tool for databases, not for monitoring Fabric capacity; Azure Monitor focuses on general infrastructure telemetry rather than Fabric-specific CU metrics; Power BI is a strong visualization tool, but it isn’t the dedicated monitoring console for capacity—it’s something you might use for dashboards if you export metrics. So the best choice for monitoring CU consumption in a Fabric data warehouse is the Fabric Capacity Metrics app.
