Azure Analysis Services - current connection metrics

Question

I am doing load testing of Azure analysis services where I have established 500 different sessions.

When my code was running for these 500 connections, I monitored current connections metrics on Azure portal.

There I saw max 15 current connections only at a time.

How can I increase the number of current connections to be processed of AAS?
How the current connections set ?

Hi @Kalpana Chauhan ,

Thanks for your patience. We got update from product team that "CurrentConnections" metric will be removed in near future and suggested to use current user sessions metric (CurrentUserSessions) instead. Also, they suggested below challenge in the AAS (Azure Analysis Services) while measuring this metric compared to SSAS.

In SSAS, the TCP connections are being tracked, so the metrics are pretty accurate. But in AAS, there is an additional layer which abstracts away the physical connection so the engine sees connections from a connection pool, and therefore the number of physical connections could be very different than the number of logical client connections.

Hope this helps! Please let us know for further queries and we will be glad to assist.
