1.4.3 Workspace Notifications and Alerts

How do you set up notifications for pipeline failures?

Configure Data Activator alerts on pipeline run status, or use pipeline activity failure outputs to trigger email/Teams notifications.

What is Data Activator in Fabric?

A no-code tool for detecting conditions in data and triggering automated actions like alerts, emails, Teams messages, or Power Automate flows.

Can you get email notifications when a dataflow refresh fails?

Yes. Configure notification settings on the dataflow item to send email alerts on refresh failure to the owner or specified recipients.

How do you configure Teams notifications for Fabric events?

Use Data Activator or Power Automate integration to send messages to Teams channels when pipeline/dataflow events occur.

What events can trigger workspace-level alerts?

Pipeline run success/failure, dataflow refresh status, Spark job completion, semantic model refresh, capacity throttling, and data quality issues.

How do you monitor workspace activity in real-time?

Use the Monitoring Hub in Fabric, which shows all active and recent item executions (pipelines, dataflows, notebooks, refreshes) with status.

Can you create custom alerts based on data conditions?

Yes. Data Activator can monitor data values in real-time and trigger alerts when conditions are met (e.g., row count drops, value exceeds threshold).

What is the Fabric Monitoring Hub?

A centralized dashboard showing all ongoing and recent activities in the workspace, including pipeline runs, Spark jobs, dataflow refreshes, and query executions.

How do you set up alerting for capacity throttling?

Monitor the Capacity Metrics app and configure alerts when CU utilization approaches the limit, using Azure Monitor alerts on the capacity resource.

Can you integrate Fabric alerts with third-party tools?

Yes, through Power Automate flows triggered by Fabric events, you can send alerts to Slack, PagerDuty, or any service with an API connector.
