Power BI Premium Capacity Usage app vs Log Analytic workspace

[RahulLunia9]

Hi,

Wanted to know what data source the Power BI Premium Capacity Usage app use (ie - does it use Log Analytic Workspace?)

if we disable all Log Analytics for PBI will it affect our Alerts?

do we get any value out of LA for power bi... or Premium Capacity Usage app is enough?

Thank you so much.

The Power BI Premium Capacity Usage app uses data from the Power BI service audit logs to provide insights into usage patterns, including activity and resource utilization, in Power BI Premium capacities.

Disabling Log Analytics for Power BI will not affect alerts. However, it may impact other features and functionality in Power BI that use Log Analytics data.

Both Log Analytics and the Power BI Premium Capacity Usage app can provide valuable insights and data, so it depends on the specific requirements and needs of your organization. Log Analytics can provide more detailed and broader insights into your Power BI environment and can be used for other purposes beyond Power BI, while the Power BI Premium Capacity Usage app specifically focuses on Power BI usage patterns.

Thanks @jaweher899 ,

We are planning to disable a few of the Log Analytics workspaces, one of our Power BI embedded service send the logs to the LA.

Since we mostly use Power BI Premium Capacity Usage app to get insights on CPU, Memory etc , I think we can disable the existing LA which is connected to this.
