Job doesn't start (Used output doesn't exist)

Question

I created a simple job to stream data from Event Hub to PowerBi (Pro license).

Data preview shows the events. Testing the output connection to PowerBi is successfull.

The system assigned managed identity has a contributor role in the PowerBI workspace.

But when I try to start hte job I get the error "used output doesn't exist).

@Verschaetse Kristof - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

It seems like the error message "used output doesn't exist" is indicating that the output you are trying to use in your Stream Analytics job does not exist. This could be due to a few reasons, such as incorrect output configuration or authorization issues.

Here are a few things you can check to troubleshoot the issue:

• Make sure that the output configuration is correct. Double-check the output name, workspace name, and dataset name in the output configuration. Also, ensure that the output is enabled and that the correct authentication mode is selected.
• Check the authorization of the Stream Analytics job. Make sure that the managed identity of the Stream Analytics job has the necessary permissions to write to the Power BI workspace. You can check this by going to the Power BI workspace and verifying that the managed identity has the Contributor role.
• Verify that the Power BI workspace is accessible. Make sure that the Power BI workspace is accessible and that there are no issues with the Power BI service. You can check this by logging in to the Power BI service and verifying that the workspace is accessible.
• Check the logs for more information. You can check the logs for the Stream Analytics job to get more information about the error. Go to the Stream Analytics job in the Azure portal, select the "Monitoring" tab, and then select "Logs". Look for any error messages related to the output.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, please provide more information about your configuration and the error message you are seeing, and I can help you further.
