tips and tricks
14 TopicsHow do Activator Alerts behave after deploying to different workspace
I have multiple real-time dashboards, where those dashboards use an Application Insights Resource as a Data Source and a specific environmentID as a parameter. Firstly we couldn't figure out how to change those datasources from TEST to PROD when using Deployment pipelines. Secondly it seems as though when you set an alert on a dashboard tile, but change the tile's KQL query later it breaks Activator Alerts and those alerts trigger on the previous old KQL query. What's the best practice when deploying dashboards to different workspaces. Is there a way to change alerts after deployment so those alerts notify different corresponding Teams chat groups (TEST ->PROD)? Any help would be greatly apreciated or atleast an answer, because Microsoft Learn mentions nothing of that sort.Solved3.9KViews0likes5CommentsMicrosoft Fabric Known Issues
Known issues are temporary bugs that we've discovered in Microsoft Fabric. These bugs are known and are being actively fixed. Before you submit a Support request, or search Community forums for an answer, see if the problem that you're experiencing is already known to Microsoft.

Logging and tracking of alaram events for post-analysis and system improvements I'm working with Microsoft Fabric's Data Activator to monitor real-time device temperatures. My goal is to implement a solution that does the following whenever a temperature exceeds a predefined threshold: Trigger an Alert: Send an email notification to the relevant stakeholder when the threshold is crossed. Log Alarm Data: Write the event into two separate Lakehouse tables: alarm_event_log: stores the actual telemetry data that caused the alarm. alarm_metadata: stores metadata about the alarm (timestamp, severity etc.). Execute Logging via Notebook: Use the "Action" section of the Data Activator rule to trigger a Fabric notebook that logs this data into the Lakehouse. (in action i am using fabric item which is notebook) What I need help with: How can I retrieve the data from Data Activator in the triggered notebook? Specifically, how do we access the relevant data (e.g., device ID, temperature reading, time of alert) that triggered the rule, and then pass or retrieve it within the notebook to log it properly? so like is there any way to retrieve that particular record from activator which caused the alert, if yes then how to implement it, I am planning to write the pyspark script for it, but little confuse about the logic What are the best practices or recommended methods for passing parameters from Data Activator to a Fabric notebook? Has anyone implemented a similar pattern? Any sample implementation or guidance on structuring this kind of workflow for reliability and scalability would be very helpful. Thanks in advance for your support!Solved6.2KViews0likes8CommentsHow to Make Data Activator Trigger Only Once Per Day Without Modifying Power BI?
Hi Fabric Community, We have a Power BI dashboard that tracks error counts, and we want to set up Data Activator to trigger an alert only once per day when errors occur. However, our Power BI dataset refreshes at irregular intervals, and Data Activator checks the dataset every 3600 seconds (1 hour) by default, which can cause multiple alerts. We don’t want to modify the Power BI table (e.g., adding flags or timestamps) use Power Automate. Is there any setting in Data Activator itselft that allows us to limit the trigger frequency to only once per day? Would adjusting “When it has been true for N times”, “Number of times”, help in ensuring only one alert is fired per day regardless of Power BI refresh timing? Thanks in advance for your help!Solved5.4KViews0likes4CommentsReal Time intelligence Alert data ingestion issue
Hi community members after configuring the alert for a real time dashboard and once the condition gets satisfied, i want to store those events into some other location say lakehouse, warehouse or eventhouse. How can we achieve this , i see a third option in Action "Run a Fabric Item" can we achieve through this option?? if yes what will be the process or steps to do it ? suggest some possible ways, Thanks in advanceSolved5.8KViews0likes10CommentsIs "the event (Activator) refresh with respect to semantic model not working" a known issue?
Is "the event (Activator) refresh with respect to semantic model not working" a known issue? (I couldn't find in the list) - In my existing workspace (Fabric Capacity), The event is not refreshing with respect to semantic model which is created on top of a power bi report with alert. - I created a new workspace with fabric capacity, created a lakehouse, power bi report and an alert. The alert(activator) is not syncing with semantic model associated with Power BI report in this new workspace as well. - I tried to create a event stream but it looks like it doesn't support the data-related events in the lakehouse but limited to the operations performed in external storage. - In Sample data-source, it looks like the event-streams are being used, but the question is how to create a custom one. Is there anyone else facing this issue? for me, the Impact: High If you have solution or workaround for this, it would be a great help.3.5KViews0likes2CommentsData Activator is not visible
Hi, I have activated a trial license for Microsoft Fabric. Now, I would like to use the Data Activator. I have already enabled Data Activator via the Admin Portal. Unfortunately, Data Activator is not visible and can not be selected. The component is not listed on the start page. My region is Germany West Central. Do you have any idea what the problem could be?
