How to Investigate Computing Resource Consumption Associated with Viewing a Workshop

My question is about how to investigate the computing resource consumption associated with viewing workshop application over a certain period.

When viewing workshops, in addition to the FCU consumption within the workshop itself, there is also FCU consumption for Ontology aggregation, compute resources for links, and aggregation using functions. Are all of these included in the FCU consumption reported under “Workshop” within Resource Management?

If not, please tell me how to more accurately evaluate the increase in FCU consumption due to workshop viewing.

Hi @Hogehoge. I am afraid there is no first-class way to investigate costs within a workshop app… We had a discussion about exactly this in belows thread where I also describe my typical (very painful) approach on how to investigate. In a nutshell I create a copy of my workshop app → perform a specific set of steps I would like to understand the costs → wait one day → check resource manager. Ideally, the compute seconds would be part of the profiler view or workflow lineage. however I have the feeling there might also not be too much appetite to develop features (beyond minimal required) that help us save costs :wink: *cough***

Update @Hogehoge : I noticed there is a new Beta functionality in workshops Profiler mode recording the compute seconds per variable call! Currently some components like action type calls are not yet included. But it already gives a good gut-feeling and I am hopeful the rest will be added rather sooner then later.

Once fully fledged, this exactly what we were asking for (thanks PD for listening :right_facing_fist::left_facing_fist:). One more thought where this would also come in very handy is in code repo when testing functions.
