Monitoring Fabric, make do, buy or build

In the ever-evolving landscape of Fabric tenant management, obtaining a holistic overview is of paramount importance.

There are several ways you can monitor the content of your Fabric tenant and the activities of your users. Microsoft has some things out of the box such as the Monitoring Hub and the Capacity Metrics app. You can also buy ready-made solutions from different vendors, or you can build your own solution.

What you choose depends on many factors but most importantly what do you want to get out of the solution.

In the first half to this session, we will cover what the built-in capabilities cover, we will talk a little about why you might buy a ready-made solution (we will not compare different solutions on the market) and then we will talk about how you can build your own solution.
The second half of the session will focus on what you need to build your own solution and how you can take advantage of things the community has created. We will look at solutions build in Fabric Data Factory as well as coded solutions build in Fabric Spark.

At the end of the session the audience will understand how to be sure if the built-in capabilities are enough, if buying is right for them or if they should build their own solution. They will also know what it takes to build your own solution and how to jumpstart the process by using solutions the community has made publicly available for free.
