Slalom Fabric Monitoring Accelerator

The “Fabric Monitor” solution provides visibility into the complex data landscape of your Fabric tenant, allowing your organization to make strides towards better enterprise data governance, more streamlined self-service reporting, and easier administration of workspaces, apps, and licenses.

We start with a two-hour use case identification workshop with Business and Data & Analytics leaders, who are all experts in the Azure platform.

We look at your environment and challenges with a critical eye for efficiencies that might be gained by utilizing our suite of monitoring accelerators.

This particular Fabric accelerator is a completely self-contained, end-to-end solution. By cloning our repository to the client’s environment and performing some initial setup, we can stand up an MVP of the data architecture and pre-built report in minimal time.​

We recognize that companies everywhere are on a journey to modernize their Enterprise Analytics and BI strategies, and Fabric and Power BI have become two of the leading options on the market due to their flexibility, scalability, and self-service nature. However, those same factors can lead to sprawl, which can become a headache for developers, administrators, and end users. Common pain points we’ve experienced with our customers include a lack of trust in dashboard data, fragmented data sources, ungoverned data sharing, bottlenecks in report generation and excel-driven cultures. 

Features of the workshop:

We will work with your organization’s data leaders to identify use cases, deploy and manage the Fabric Monitor solution in your environment, and ensure you have all the appropriate roles and processes to properly govern your data. The result will be more comprehensive visibility into a BI practice where everyone has full trust in their interactions with your organization’s tools and data.​

Features of the Accelerator:

Custom Python code for extraction of data from Power BI + Fabric APIs and subsequent transformation into query-friendly tables

An Azure DevOps repo that facilitates easy deployment of all required Fabric items, including a lake house, pipeline, notebook, and environment
