Setting up alerts for scheduled data pipelines
I am monitoring several data pipelines across Fabric workspaces, and I would like to receive an email whenever any of them fails.
I know I could add an Outlook activity to each of them individually, or create a 'parent' pipeline that invokes all the children pipelines and then sends an email, but that would require that I change all existing pipelines/schedules.
Isn't there a trivial way to do this? I'm looking for a 'send notification on failure' checkbox but I can't find anything in the Data Factory version of Fabric.
Thank you in advance!
Hi TAPeri ,
Currently there is no such feature in Fabric Data Factory as you mentioned.
But I think you can refer to these two methods below.
1. Select the three dots to find a list of options. Then select View run history. This action opens a fly-out on the right side of your screen with all your recent runs and run statuses.

2. You have also mentioned the use of Outlook, similarly you can use Teams. here is a topic you can refer to:

Unfortunately, unlike ADF wherein you can have in built alerts to notify in case of pipeline failures; in fabric data pipelines you have to explictily manage the failure notifications yourself.
Rather than having team/outlook activity after each activity or having a parent pipeline, you can use the below method :

Is it on the roadmap to add this capability? ADF had it built in and for obvious reasons it is needed.
Id like to know that too.
Microsoft, please:
We get new features every day that no one asked for, and standard monitoring for errors doesn't exist yet and is a mess compared to ADF. Why not just copy/paste ADF and maybe stop pushing new features for a while?
The Fabric way of handling and monitoring errors is a straight up downgrade from ADF in every possible way. I hope they fix it.
