Diagnosing Power BI DirectQuery Connection Limit Performance Problems With Execution Metrics

In this blog post, you'll learn how to use execution metrics to diagnose problems related to connection limits in Power BI DirectQuery. The Maximum Connections Per Data Source property in Premium allows for a limited number of connections to a DirectQuery semantic model. Therefore, it's crucial to monitor the number of connections to prevent performance problems when the limit is reached.

Previously, identifying performance issues in connection limits was not possible. But, with execution metrics, it's now feasible. In this blog post, the author highlights how to interpret the execution metrics to identify and solve connection limit problems. The article highlights a few metrics used for this purpose and explains how they function.

If you're using Power BI DirectQuery, then you can benefit significantly from this article by detecting and addressing performance issues efficiently and accurately. So, read on to learn more techniques to improve your Power BI DirectQuery experience.
