Which tool should you use to monitor capacity unit consumption in a Fabric data warehouse?

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

Answer: (A)

Monitoring capacity needs directly in Fabric data warehouses is best done with the built-in Capacity Metrics app. This tool is designed specifically to track how many capacity units you’re consuming, offering real-time and historical views of usage, and details by workspace or workload. That focused visibility is essential for effective capacity planning and cost control. Other options aren’t tailored to Fabric’s capacity metrics: Azure Monitor covers general Azure resource telemetry, not the Fabric-specific capacity data; while Data Studio and Power BI are great for querying and reporting, they don’t provide the dedicated monitoring capabilities for capacity unit consumption.
