Data activator in Fabric capacity metrics app not working

[EmiliaT]

Hi - I have been trying to set up alerts for the fabric capacity metrics app. I have set the workspace to premium capacity and I am the admin of the workspace. Still when I am trying to set an alert for the utilisation graph or throttling graph to get an alert when total CU usage % is greater than 100%, I receive this error:

I have tried the workaround mentioned in Build Alerts for Fabric Capacity Metrics App using Data Activator | Microsoft Fabric Admin - YouTube - but also receieved the same error message. 

Anyone who have had any success to set up alerts in the Fabric capcity metric report or who can help me avioding this error?

@v-tangjie-msft I changed the workspace setting and put in in a fabric capacity setting - still receives the same error message. What else could be done to aviod it?

Hi @EmiliaT ,

According to the documentation, fabric capacity metrics need to be in the fabric workspace. Please select the fabric capacity metrics app and click Workspace Settings to change the license info.

I had already challenged Microsoft on that. It is one of the basic tenets of monitoring that the monitor should never be placed in the system it monitors.  The requirement stated in the documentation is in blatant violation of that basic tenet.
