Quickstart: Use Synapse Studio to monitor your Data Explorer pools (Preview)

Important

Azure Synapse Analytics Data Explorer (Preview) will be retired on October 7, 2025. After this date, workloads running on Synapse Data Explorer will be deleted, and the associated application data will be lost. We highly recommend migrating to Eventhouse in Microsoft Fabric.

The Microsoft Cloud Migration Factory (CMF) program is designed to assist customers in migrating to Fabric. The program offers hands-on keyboard resources at no cost to the customer. These resources are assigned for a period of 6-8 weeks, with a predefined and agreed-upon scope. Customer nominations are accepted from the Microsoft account team or directly by submitting a request for help to the CMF team.

With Azure Synapse Analytics, you can use Data Explorer to run queries, dashboards and more on Data Explorer pools in your workspace.

This article explains how to monitor your Data Explorer pools, allowing you to keep an eye on the status of your pools, including how many vCores are in use by different workspace users.
