Alert creation error

vivien57 — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 07:05:26 GMT

Hello everyone,

When I try to create an alert (Data Activator) on the ‘Fabric Capacity Metrics’ dashboard I constantly get an error with no information.

Are you experiencing the same error? Have you managed to get around it?

Thank in advance for your return,

Vivien

Hi vivien57 ,

Can you try reconfiguring the credentials for the semantic model or uninstalling and reinstalling the Fabric Capacity Metrics app?

Best Regards,

Hello,

Thank for your response,

I have tried entering the credentials again but I still get the error.

How can deleting the app resolve this? I find this drastic 🙂

Perhaps the reason is that the Fabric Capacity Metrics App is in a Pro workspace?

I think if the Fabric Capacity Metrics App workspace gets assigned to a Fabric or Premium capacity, it will work. It works for me.

However, in my experience, Data Activator only checks for data from Power BI once per hour. Also, I had to refresh the semantic model in order for Data Activator to detect changes in the data.

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, I already have the workspace app on the fabric capacity.

Then if you refresh the semantic model of the capacity metrics app, I think you will get an alert next time the hourly event happens.

It's a bit strange, it is not real time, just once in an hour, and we need to refresh the semantic model every time. Also there is a lag (perhaps 5 minutes) after an event triggers before the alert reaches my Teams.
