The full documentation for the "Microsoft Fabric Capacity App" can be found in Microsoft's Doc pages. While you can use an existing Fabric Capacity Metrics app setup in PowerBI it's suggested to get the app again and setup a workspace specifically for use with Datalogz.
Install the Microsoft Fabric Capacity App in your Power BI environment. Navigate to the "Apps" section on the side bar of Power BI. There you can search for the "Microsoft Fabric Capacity App" and add it.
Navigate to the "Microsoft Fabric Capacity Metrics" Workspace that is created with the app. Go to Manage Access and grant "Admin" permissions to the Datalogz service principal Groups.
Run the app for the first time to start data flowing into the semantic model.
Provide the Dataset ID for the "Fabric Capacity Metrics" to Datalogz. This can be found in the URL when viewing the semantic model in your web browser.
