I am trying to set Reflex alerts in this app. I can set it for the Ribbon visual but not the Utilization / Throttling visual. Instead I get the following error: An internal error occurred while creating your trigger. If this error persists, please contact support, quoting the following information: "Power BI metric query failed"
Any help appreciated!! Thanks
This is explicitly not supported. Raise a ticket, complain to your sales rep, or write your own reports against the Kusto source.
Keep in mind that the data is at least 8 minutes delayed, so the reflexes will be rather useless anyway.
Hi.
It almost seems like its random. Sometimes 8 minutes, sometime less? I'm the only one using Activator and Reflex in our environment and its under no load. Is this configurable? I remember seeing 8 minutes somewhere when I was setting it up.
We want to use this to kick off pipelines when data is changed in the source and were going to use azure function/logic app to EventHub to Activator --> Reflex --> Kick off pipeline.
I can get the pipelines to kick off sending in a test message from EventHub, and it looks fine until the reflex part actually acts on the message and calls the pipeline. That part is taking 2-8 minutes to wakeup and do anything..
I would seem shocking to me that it's expected behavior? Yikes, we won't be able to use it as is currently.. Unless I'm wrong..
If there is a config setting for this could someone let me know and thanks!

I think it's something that is fundamentally slow in Kusto. Find other ways to trigger your actions.
