Troubleshoot: Failed cluster creation of Azure Data Explorer

In the unlikely event that cluster creation fails in Azure Data Explorer, follow these steps.

  1. Ensure you have adequate permissions. To create a cluster, you must be a member of the Contributor or Owner role for the Azure subscription. If necessary, work with your subscription administrator so they can add you to the appropriate role.

  2. Ensure that there are no validation errors related to the cluster name you entered under Create cluster in the Azure portal.

  3. Check the Azure service health dashboard. Look for the status of Azure Data Explorer in the region where you're trying to create the cluster.

    If the status isn't Good (green check mark), try creating the cluster after the status improves.

  4. If you still need assistance solving your issue, please open a support request in the Azure portal.
