Set alert on Real Time Dashboard or KQL Queryset

This capability enables users to easily set alerts on a Real-Time Dashboard or on the result set of a KQL Queryset using the Fabric Activator no-code side pane to benefit from the capabilities of Activator on data from an Eventhouse.

Steps - KQL Queryset

  1. In a KQL Queryset, create a query. This query can either trigger an alert when a scheduled KQL query returns results, or when conditions are met on data in the query result.
  2. Set the alert conditions and create an alert.
  3. Optionally, further modify the alert in Activator.

Potential use cases

  • Real-Time Dashboard: This feature lets you monitor live data trends by setting conditions on visualizations. For instance, if you visualize sales data distribution across product categories in a pie chart, you can set an alert to notify you if the share of any category drops below a certain threshold. This helps you quickly identify and address potential issues with that product line.
  • KQL Queryset: For example, on a KQL database that tracks application logs, you can configure an alert to notify you if the query, scheduled at a frequency of your choice (for example, every 5 minutes), returns any logs where the message field contains the string "error".
