Use the monitoring hub to track Fabric activity

The Microsoft Fabric Monitor feature opens the monitoring hub, which provides a centralized view of job execution health, progress, and outcomes. You can quickly identify problems and take action. Use the monitoring hub to answer these questions:

  • What is the current status of a job—running, succeeded, or failed?
  • Where did it fail, and what error details are available?
  • Has this job failed before in the last 30 days?

Any Fabric user can open the monitoring hub, but you only see activities for Fabric items you have permission to view.

Key features

The monitoring hub provides the following features to help you track and investigate your Fabric activities:

  • Current run status: Open the monitoring hub to track active and recently completed jobs from one place.

  • Historical runs: View activity history to investigate failures, compare performance over time, and validate reruns.

  • Activity details and diagnostics: View details to inspect status, timing, and error details for faster troubleshooting.

  • Activity filtering and search: Use search and filtering to narrow the list to the activities and run windows pertaining to your investigation.

  • Item types: The monitoring hub displays activities for these Fabric items:

    • Copy Job
    • Dataflow Gen2
    • Dataflow Gen2 CI/CD
    • Datamart
    • Data Build Tool (dbt) Job
    • Digital Twin Builder Flow
    • Experiment
    • Graph model
    • Lakehouse
    • Map
    • Notebook
    • Pipeline
    • Semantic model
    • Snowflake database
    • Spark job definition
    • User data function

Note

For Spark Notebook jobs with jobType "NotebookInteractiveRun," all terminated notebooks display as "Stopped" in the monitoring hub. This temporary UI-only change has the following limitations:

  • You can't filter by the "Stopped" status.
  • Status might be inconsistent between the monitoring hub table, the Public Job Status API, and job events.

Open the monitoring hub

To open the monitoring hub in Fabric, select Monitor from the navigation pane. The Monitor page displays up to 100 Fabric activities from the past 30 days, ordered by start time with the newest activities at the top. The table shows up to 100 activities per Fabric item.

If you have the appropriate permissions for a Fabric item, you can perform certain actions directly from the monitoring hub. The available actions depend on the item type.

Get activity details

The details pane provides information about an activity, such as its status, start time, duration, and error details. To open the details pane for an activity, point to the activity name and select the View details symbol (i).

View activity history

The main Monitor page displays only the 100 most recent activities from the past 30 days, so frequently run jobs might not show all executions. However, you can view the complete 30-day history for a specific activity by using the Historical runs option.

To access the full 30-day history for an activity, point to the activity name, select More options (...), and then select Historical runs. The table displays up to 30 days of historical information for that activity. To return to the main display, select Back to main view.

Change columns and display order

Use the following controls to find Fabric activities and items or change how they're displayed in the monitoring hub or historical table:

  • Sort - Select a column header to change the sort order. The arrow next to the column header indicates the sorting order.
  • Change the columns displayed - Use the Column Options button to add, remove, or rearrange columns by dragging them to a different position in the list.

Search and filter

To find specific activities or items in the monitoring hub, use the following search and filter options:

  • Keyword search - Use the Filter by keyword search box to quickly find activities or items by name or keyword. The search queries only the loaded data, not all the activities in the database.

  • Filter - Use Filter to narrow results by properties like status, start time, and owner. For example, to find failed jobs in a specific workspace from the last 24 hours, select Status = Failed, Location = <workspace>, and Start time = Last 24 hours. The monitoring hub remembers your filter selection for the next time you access the hub. Use the following filter options to customize the displayed results (filter options vary by item type):

    • Status - Select the type of status you want the table to display.

      Note

      Each Fabric item has a unique set of operations and statuses. To display consistent results, the monitoring hub might show a simplified version of an item's status. You can find the exact status of an item in the details panel.

    • Item type - Select the Fabric item types you want the table to display.

    • Start time - Select the time period for the table to display. You can select a predetermined period, or use Customize to personalize the time period.

    • Submitted by - Select the owner of the Fabric item that the table displays activities for.

    • Location - Select which workspaces to view item activities from.

Limitations

Dataflow Gen1 isn't supported and isn't displayed in the table.
