Activator Monitoring features

Hi, 

 

Activator UI display granual data about who updated it, when, and when event was triggered. 

May I access it in more programaticall way ? Via Fabric Monitor or Azure Log Analytics? 

 

I need to keep all those information  for audit somewhere else.

 

Thanks

Activator

    Hi evrise,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

    Its a great observation regarding the metadata shown in the Activator UI. At this time, the granular details like "who updated an event", "when it was updated", and "when it was triggered" are only surfaced in the Activator UI and are not yet exposed programmatically through Fabric Monitor, REST APIs, or Azure Log Analytics.

    We understand the importance of having this level of audit detail accessible externally, especially for compliance or operational logging. While Fabric Monitor and Log Analytics provide insights for other Fabric activities (e.g., pipeline runs, dataflows, etc.), Data Activator currently does not emit telemetry or logs to these services.

    That said, we’ve received similar feedback from other users, and audit logging support for Activator is something the product team is aware of. In the meantime, the best workaround would be manually capturing metadata from the UI or using custom logging in your action logic, if you're triggering external services via Power Automate or webhooks.

     

    If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know.  

    Best Regards,

        Hi evrise,

        You are right, there are some current limitations when it comes to auditing and event context extraction within Data Activator. While it's GA, certain enterprise-grade features like programmatic access to event metadata or logging hooks are still in development or under consideration based on user feedback like yours.

        At the moment, you're correct that there's no way to extract event parameters or metadata directly from the Activator trigger itself, which does limit the ability to build robust custom logic downstream.

        Also if you want to raise any points or issue towards developers I suggest Ideas forum. Here you can raise an idea or upvote for a pending idea. Go through the below link for Ideas Forum.
