Why do Azure data Factory Activities not appear in Activity Suceeded Metrics in the Azure Monitor UI?

I am attempting to set up an email notification via the Azure > Monitor > Alert Rules UI.

I click on Create alert rule and select

Resource = Data Factory v2

Condition

Signal Type = Suceeded activity runs metric

Under Configure signal logic I select..

Pipeline = pipeline_respond_sharepoint_adls

However I cannot locate the activity I wish to set the metric on in the list of activities even though it is a valid activity within the above Data Pipeline.

In addition to this when you select the pipeline the list of activities is not filtered according to those which are part of the selected pipeline.

I can work around the above issue which I believe is a bug or bad design in the UI.
However I cannot understand why activities do not appear in the list.

    Hello @Amie Barkes ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform.

    I would suggest you to use monitor section from the Azure Data Factory portal(https://adf.azure.com).

    Steps to create alerts to proactively monitor your data factory pipelines:

    Step1: To get started, simply navigate to the Monitor tab in your data factory, select Alerts & Metrics, and then select New Alert Rule.

    Step2: Select the target data factory metric for which you want to be alerted.

    Step3: Then, configure the alert logic. You can specify various filters such as activity name, pipeline name, activity type, and failure type for the raised alerts. You can also specify the alert logic conditions and the evaluation criteria.

    Step4: Finally, configure how you want to be alerted. Different mechanisms such email, SMS, voice, and push notifications are supported.
