Activity Monitor

The Activity Monitor (also called the Query Profiler) lets you watch DAX queries as they execute against your model in real time.

Click the Activity Monitor icon in the activity bar to open the panel.

When to Use It

• Performance tuning: See how long queries take and identify bottlenecks.
• Debugging: Verify that the right queries are being generated when you preview data or process tables.

SSAS Requirements

To monitor queries on a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) instance, your machine must be domain-joined to the same Active Directory domain as the SSAS server.

Platform	How to Domain Join
Windows	Settings > Accounts > Access work or school > Connect (join domain)
Linux	Use realmd (realm join yourdomain.com)
macOS	Use Directory Utility (System Settings > Users & Groups > Network Account Server)
