Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer Associate DP-700 Practice Question
A Microsoft Fabric workspace contains a Dataflow Gen2 named SalesTransform that runs nightly in a pipeline. The latest refresh has doubled in duration, and you need to determine which Power Query transformation step now takes the longest so you can focus your optimization efforts. You want to achieve this with minimal administrative effort and without modifying the existing pipeline or dataflow.
What should you do?
In the Monitoring hub, open the latest SalesTransform run and drill into the Step details pane to review the duration of each transformation step.
Configure the pipeline to send diagnostic logs to Azure Application Insights and analyze the traces for long-running commands.
Run a DESCRIBE HISTORY command against the target Delta table in the lakehouse to examine the time taken by each transformation step.
Use Power BI Desktop's Performance Analyzer while refreshing the dataset that consumes the dataflow to capture step-level timings.
In the Monitoring hub, you can open the run history for SalesTransform, select the most recent run, and then choose Step details. The Step details view lists every Power Query transformation step together with its execution duration, enabling you to identify the slowest step without changing the pipeline or dataflow. Lakehouse table history, Application Insights logs, and the Power BI Performance Analyzer do not expose per-step timings for a Dataflow Gen2 refresh.
