Creating alerts from the Fabric Capacity Metrics app?

[lbendlin]

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 - 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?

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?

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.

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