Automate data-driven actions | Data Activator in Microsoft Fabric

React fast to changes in data with an automated system of detection and action using Data Activator. Monitor and track changes at a granular level as they happen, instead of at an aggregate level, where important insights may be left in the detail and have already become a problem.
As a domain expert, this provides a no code way to take data, whether real-time streaming from your IoT devices, or batch data collected from your business systems, and dynamically monitor patterns by establishing conditions. When these conditions are met, Data Activator automatically triggers specific actions, such as notifying dedicated teams or initiating system-level remediations.
Join Will Thompson, Group Product Manager for Data Activator, as he shares how to monitor granular high volume of operational data and translate it into specific actions.

Data Activator and Reflex is an incredible addition to the Fabric ecosystem! Great stuff!

[@LearnMicrosoftFabric]

Really cool - thanks! 😀

[@MSFTMechanics]

Glad you liked it!

Thanks for this video ! but you have the possibilité to fix the refresh rate at every 1 day, why now this setup is not displayed on the set alert panel ?

[@egbertdejong6377]

Like it - but is it part of O365 or power platform premium license cost or seperate product (cost)?

[@MSFTMechanics]

It's part of Fabric, you purchase a capacity and Data Activator consumes resources from that. We haven't published the Data Activator details yet, but the Fabric capacity information is here blog.fabric.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-microsoft-fabric-capacities-are-available-for-purchase -Will

Hi
I've already explored all Dat Activator options described in the video. At this stage, most demos I found (including training lab) mainly use "Get sample data" scenarios. Now I'd wish to be able to use my own data though Get Data option, though it seems it ain't available at this stage, I'm able to create custom similar Package delivery data livestream in KQL Custom App. Data is fed from a custom node js application in Visual Studio Code generating mock data. I simply copied generated KQL ConnectionString & EntityName parameters in my code and let it run. Being able to hook Data Activator would be awesome, any information on when the option will be available would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for trying it out! The best way to connect your own data is via Eventstream. It acts like Eventhub in Fabric, and you can route events to Data Activator from there. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-activator/data-activator-get-data-eventstreams - Will

I don't see "Trigger action" in my Power BI report published in a premium workspace

[@ewoutlagendijk9604]

It's called Set alert now, do you have Fabric activated btw?

[@chrisdavis9848]

Is there an API for Data Activator? We should like to be able to create these via API for embedded scenarios.

[@MSFTMechanics]

Not yet! It's on our roadmap to provide APIs for this. If you'd like to give us more details or feedback, please post on ideas.fabric.microsoft.com or community.fabric.microsoft.com -Will
