Details

Body (from Message Center)

We are announcing the ability to view machine and flow utilization in dashboards in Power Automate. This feature will reach general availability on July 31, 2026.

How does this affect me?
With this feature, Automation Center dashboards are enhanced with new tiles in both the Runs and Machines views to provide insights into machine and flow usage over a selected time period.

In the Runs dashboard, users can see which machines were used to run a specific flow and how execution is distributed across those machines as a percentage. This helps identify how flows are using available compute resources.

In the Machines dashboard, users can see which flows are running on a specific machine and the distribution of execution across those flows. The tile also highlights how much time a machine remains idle, providing a clearer view of overall machine usage.

These insights help users better understand usage patterns and identify opportunities to optimize resource allocation.

What action do I need to take?
This message is for awareness, and no action is required.

If you would like more information on this feature, please visit View machine and flow utilization in dashboards.
