Create an eventhouse

An eventhouse allows you to manage multiple databases at once, sharing capacity and resources to optimize performance and cost. It provides unified monitoring and management across all databases and per database. For more information, see Eventhouse overview.

In this article, you learn how to create an eventhouse, add new databases to an eventhouse, rename, and delete an eventhouse.

Prerequisites

Create an eventhouse

  1. Browse to your workspace homepage in Real-Time Intelligence.

  2. Select New > Eventhouse.

  3. Enter a name for the eventhouse. Both an eventhouse and its default child Kusto Query Language (KQL) database are created with the same name. The database name, like all items in Fabric, can be renamed at any time.

    Note

    The eventhouse name can contain alphanumeric characters, underscores, periods, and hyphens. Special characters aren't supported.

  4. The system overview opens in the main view area of the newly created eventhouse.
