Looking at the Capacity Metrics app for our Premium capacity, we're seeing extremely high CPU values all of a sudden (sustained, not just a couple of spikes). What's the best way to determine what could be causing it? We have quite a bit of activity in the capacity, and looking to see if there's a way to track what report/change/etc. caused CPU to elevate all of a sudden.
Thanks,
Jason
Hi @jmillar ,
Many cases can cause high CPU usage or saturation,This can often be improved by optimizing the model.
Please optimize your data model in the way mentioned in this similar thread:
Optimizing-the-datasource-CPU-usage
Also ,when a dataset is consumed in short bursts of high frequency queries by multiple users (for example, in a training session), resulting in CPU saturation during each burst.
In some cases, Power BI administrators can request that dataset owners create a less volatile query workload by creating a dashboard (which queries periodically with any dataset refresh for cached tiles) instead of a report. This can help prevent spikes when the dashboard is loaded.
This solution may not always be possible for given business requirements, however it can be an effective way to avoid CPU saturation, without making changing to the dataset.
For more information,you can refer to:
