Super UserHi there
As far as I am aware there is currently no way to get notifications for Live Connections.
You might have to have a process using the APIs to see if the Datasource is up and running?

MannHi @Gilbert
I checked that recently Power BI team has rolled out a feature to add users who can recieve error notification when scheduled cache refresh fails in case of live connection also.
One can configure this option going to dataset settings --> scheduled cache refresh option.
Thanks
Mann- GilbertQThat is indeed correct, I forgot about it for the caching refreshing you can have it enabled which will also then notify you if the connection is broken!

Could you tell me if your problem has been solved? If it is, kindly mark the most helpful answer as a solution. if not, please share more details about your question, we'd like to provide further support. thanks!
If you've fixed by your own, it would be much appreciated if you can share your solution here.- MannHi Dina Ye,
I have raised a support ticket to Microsoft Power BI support team on this since this option was not sending error notifications on failure. They informed that this is a known issue and product team is working on it. ETA for this fix was 9th Sep 2019. I tested this and still not recieved the error notification.
I will be connecting with the support team again. If this gets resolved will post the solution used.
