In DataFactory, we have something called "Alerts and Metrics" under monitoring tab. However, the same is not available in Synapse Analytics.

I'm looking for the most easiest option to setup monitoring/email alerts on synapse pipelines so I can be notified via email if a pipeline was to fail.
I'm aware of the different procedures through WebActivity/LogicApp but that is more cumbersome process as it involves making changes to every single pipeline.

I'm looking for a more general and independent solution to monitor the pipelines without having to make changes to each pipeline.

    Hi@Anuraag M
    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your question here.

    Regarding your question, "Are the 'Alerts and Metrics' option in Data Factory available for Synapse Analytics as well?", the answer is no. The "Alerts and Metrics" feature is not currently available in Synapse Analytics.

    There are alternative ways to set up monitoring/email alerts on Synapse pipelines without having to make changes to each pipeline. One option is to use Azure Monitor, which provides a centralized platform for monitoring and alerting on Azure resources. You can create alerts based on metrics, logs, or activity logs, and configure them to send notifications via email, SMS, or other channels.

    To set up alerts for Synapse pipelines using Azure Monitor, you can follow these steps:

    • Create a Log Analytics workspace in your Azure subscription, if you haven't already done so.
    • Configure your Synapse workspace to send diagnostic logs to the Log Analytics workspace. You can do this by going to the "Diagnostic settings" tab in your Synapse workspace, selecting the "Send to Log Analytics" option, and choosing the Log Analytics workspace you created in step.
    • Create an alert rule in Azure Monitor based on the diagnostic logs from your Synapse workspace. You can choose the specific log types and conditions that trigger the alert and configure the notification settings to send an email when the alert is triggered.
