Configure job alerts

Configure alerts for a job

Send operational notifications for meaningful job events so failures and unhealthy durations reach the right responders.

Alert only when someone can act

  • Production run failsFailure notification
  • Run is abnormally slowDuration or health warning
  • Run succeeds normallyUsually no action alert
Operational notification

A useful alert helps the recipient decide what to do next.

Put alerts around the job graph

Microsoft Learn Lakeflow Jobs UI showing a multi-task job DAG with branching logic and a scheduled trigger.

Lakeflow Jobs can notify on job events while task-level status still shows exactly which part of the graph failed.

Detect degradation before failure

  • Failure

    Signal
    Run or task failed
    Use
    Immediate remediation

  • Duration warning

    Signal
    Run exceeds threshold
    Use
    Performance degradation
Failure versus duration warning

Avoid alert fatigue by sending low-value success events only when there is a real operational need.

Key points

  • Notifications: Route job events to configured destinations
  • Failure alert: Prioritize actionable production failures
  • Duration warning: Detect unexpectedly slow runs
  • Noise control: Avoid alerting on every harmless event

Exam trap

Alert fatigue makes real failures easier to miss, so notify on conditions that require action.
