We are migrating to ADF with almost 1000 of pipelines and data flow. Where it throws some error then it is very generic error which is like not specific error to fix the problem quickly.

When Data Flow triggers then it starts a cluster and somewhere generates detailed YARN logs. We have already enabled Diagnostics on ADF level for all events.

Where can I find those logs for troubleshooting and fix?
If this is not there by default then what setting we need to change to get those detailed YARN logs?

    @Prince Rastogi Admin Account Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum and thanks for reaching out here.

    Unfortunately, there is no way a user can access the backend cluster logs of your data flow. Those are managed by Azure and I believe only the ADF product team has access to those logs.

    Setting up diagnostic logs only will help track below tables data but not the detailed YARN logs of your ADF mapping data flow.
    Screenshot that shows where diagnostic logs tab is located in data factory.

    For most of the common issues related to ADF mapping data flow, the product team has consolidated a portion of the list of issues that commonly reported and also provided possible root cause and resolution details in this document. Kindlly refer to this document and see if that helps to identify your specific issue and possible solution

    MS Doc:

    1. Troubleshoot mapping data flows in Azure Data Factory
    2. Troubleshoot connector and format issues in mapping data flows in Azure Data Factory
    3. Video - ADF Data Flows: Troubleshooting and best practices

    In case if your issue is not listed in the above troubleshooting guides and are blocked, kindly share the error message details and few details about your pipeline flow. Or if you have a support plan, please file a support ticket and do share the SR# with us here.

    Hope this info helps.
