How do I read XEL files in SSAS?

  • A colleague of mine has setup SSAS monitoring through Extended Events and these are writing to XEL files on the local server.

    Can anyone advise how I can read these on an SSAS server? I know how to do this in SQL Server but those commands don't work (or exist) in the SSAS query window.

    Many thanks.

  • you read them in SQL Server as any other .xel file (or through powershell - google it)

  • Unfortunately, this server doesn't have SQL Server installed. It only has the SSAS instance.

    Could I copy them to a different server and read them from there?

  • yes you can copy them to another location and process them on a different server.
