Notifications on pipeline error

cw88 — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 09:32:26 GMT

What options do I have to receive notifications about pipeline errors?

Is there a way to set up a notification on monitoring hub level, that sends an e-mail, for example, when (selected) pipelines break?

I can currently only find the way to attach an additional mail activity to each individual activity of a pipeline, but that isn't practicable... 😐

Hi cw88 ,

Thanks for using Microsoft Fabric Community.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Set up a notification on monitoring hub level is not yet supported within Microsoft Fabric, as you said we need to use email activity at pipeline level to send alerts on failure.

Appreciate if you could share the feedback on our feedback channel. Which would be open for the user community to upvote & comment on. This allows our product teams to effectively prioritize your request against our existing feature backlog and gives insight into the potential impact of implementing the suggested feature.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further queries.

Hey, unfortunately as stated by Anonymous there is no functionality to set up email notification at hub level.

But plz follow the below blog :

https://datasharkx.wordpress.com/2024/02/17/error-logging-and-the-art-of-avoiding-redundant-activities-in-msft-fabric-data-pipelines/

to have a single email notifcation activity to get error details of all activities clubbed together rather than 1 per activity

Thanks for the link, i will try it.

But a very complicated way, i hope that there are more comfortable ways in the future...

I'm sure we'll get a pipeline-level solution for this eventually.

But in the meantime, here's a simple method using the new Invoke Pipeline activity.

Create your pipeline without any notification activities.
Create a second empty pipeline, and add Invoke Pipeline to call your first pipeline.
Add an Outlook activity to the "On fail" node of the Invoke Pipeline activity.

This will trigger the email if any part of your inner pipeline fails.

A few updates have been shipped that help with getting notified when your pipeline fails.

Email notifications for failed scheduled jobs: You can now receive email alerts when any schedulable item fails. This works across pipelines, notebooks, etc. i.e. any Fabric item with schedules.

- https://learn.microsoft.com/fabric/data-factory/pipeline-runs#configure-failure-notifications

- https://learn.microsoft.com/fabric/fundamentals/job-scheduler#receive-notifications-for-failed-scheduled-jobs

Centralized management of these notifications (Preview): There's now a dedicated view in Monitoring Hub where you can manage and configure failure notifications across all your scheduled items in one place. Instead of needing to open each item individually.
- https://learn.microsoft.com/fabric/admin/monitoring-hub#schedule-failures-preview

We'd love to hear feedback in this space. Does this address the core need? What gaps remain? This will help prioritize what comes next.

I finally got this functionality in my tenet and I find that it's very useful in our, admittedly not huge, deployment. It pretty much gives me what I was looking for. Thanks!
