Fabric service interruption notifications

It's important to have insight into the availability of your mission-critical business applications. Fabric provides incident notification so you can optionally receive in-product messages and/or emails and Teams notification if there's a service disruption or degradation. While these occurrences are rare, it's still possible for disruptions to occur. The following screenshots show the type of messages you'll receive if you enable notifications:

  • In-product messages

  • Teams notifications

  • Email messages

At this time, emails are sent for the following reliability scenarios:

  • Power BI -

    • Open report reliability

    • Model refresh reliability

    • Query refresh reliability

Notifications are sent when there's an extended delay in operations. After an incident is resolved, you receive a follow-up email.

Note

This feature is currently available only for capacities in Power BI Premium or Microsoft Fabric. It's not available for shared or embedded capacity.

Enable notifications for service interruptions

A Fabric admin can enable notifications for service interruptions in the admin portal:

  1. Identify or create an email-enabled security group that should receive notifications.

  2. In the admin portal, select Tenant settings. Under Help and support settings, expand

    1. For emails and Teams - expand Receive email and Teams notifications for service outages or incidents

    2. For in-product messages - expand Receive in-product notifications for service outages or incidents

  3. Enable notifications, enter a security group, and select Apply.

Note

A Fabric admin can delegate the option to receive in-product messages to capacity and workspace admins.

Note

Fabric sends notifications from the account no-reply-powerbi@microsoft.com. Ensure that this account is added to your safe sender list so that notifications don't end up in a junk email folder.
