Creating alerts from the Fabric Capacity Metrics app?

lbendlin — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 17:58:06 GMT

We have placed the Fabric Capacity Metrics App into a non-Premium workspace (in order to not contaminate the measurements). We can create reflexes but they never fire.

Did anyone get this to work reliably?

Hi lbendlin ,

Is the Fabric Capacity Metrics app in a workspace with fabric capacity?
What happens when you click "Send me a test alert"? Are there any error messages?

Best Regards,

Update: can't even create reflexes any more

Placing the capacity metrics app into a Fabric capacity is defeating the purpose of that app. Catch-22.

Hi lbendlin ,

Refer to this document, if you want to set up alerts for Fabric Capacity Metrics, you must first have a fabric workspace and be able to access and edit the contents of that workspace.

For more details, please refer: Build Alerts for Fabric Capacity Metrics App using Data Activator | Microsoft Fabric Admin (youtube.com)

That is violating one of the basics tenets of monitoring. A monitor must not be part of the monitored system.

Hi - the reflex can go into another workspace, it doesn't have to be in the same place as the metrics app. It does need to be assigned to a fabric capacity, but it can be a different one. I get what you mean about monitoring itself - but we need somewhere to run the compute for the triggers so it needs a capacity, it just doesn't have to be the same one it's monitoring 🙂 It's good feedback though, I'll bring it to the team in future! Thanks!

Earlier we were trying to create the reflexes in a Premium workspace, but they are not firing, presumably because the metrics app isn't in a Premium capacity. Is that something you can help getting to work?

Hello lbendlin,

Did you maybe find another way to set alerts on Fabric Capacity Metrics app that you can share with us? Do you know how can we setup an alert when Autoscale occurs?

Thanks a lot!

No, still not working. Likely never will.
