Alert for Success/Failure of Data Refresh

[pbiideas1]

Currently, only the owner of a dataset is 'alerts'ed if there is a failure of a scheduled refresh. If that person is not online, leaves, etc, no one else know of the failure until users complain. There should be a way to set a generic notification for failures at the admin level so more can be 'alerts'ed to check into what the failure is. The ask is for an option in the admin portal to send 'alerts's for report and/or data refresh failures to a group or to a specific email.

We need this as an admin feature... tracking of all datasets and all failures - whether they are live or imported, on demand vs scheduled, etc. This is how PowerPivot in SharePoint works. Why can't they do it with PBI?? We don't have a SQL backend to connect to, but we do have gateway logs and O365 logs... neither seem to provide good information on failures. And even if they did it would be difficult to create 'alerts's off that data.

Especially true for Embedded PBI

is this a duplicate of the following, which was raised May 2016? https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/13703013-scheduled-refresh-failure-notification-should-go-t

[fbcideas_migusr]

would like to have that - this is mandatory at least on enterprise BI scale!

Would like to have this feature

We need the ability to specify additional users or groups when a refresh fails. I was really hoping the Workspace Contact List for the new workspaces would get refresh failures, but it doesn't seem like they do.

This is must have feature. Not sure how MS missed this important feature. before look and feel suggestions, please consider this feature. we are adding more and more num of reports every Quarter and there should be a way to get 'alerts's if there is a failure (PBIRS).

Admins can utilize refresh history APIs today to collect details as to refresh failures and the option to send refresh failure notifications to non-dataset owners exists today within the dataset settings.
