Add Fabric workspace item events to an eventstream

This article shows you how to add Fabric workspace item event source to an eventstream.

Fabric workspace item events are discrete Fabric events that occur when contents of your Fabric Workspace are changed. These changes include creating, updating, or deleting of Fabric items except for the item types listed in the following note.

With Fabric eventstreams, you can capture these Fabric workspace events, transform them, and route them to various destinations in Fabric for further analysis. This seamless integration of Fabric workspace events within Fabric eventstreams gives you greater flexibility for monitoring and analyzing activities in your Fabric workspace.

Here are the supported Fabric workspace events:

• Microsoft.Fabric.ItemCreateSucceeded
• Microsoft.Fabric.ItemCreateFailed
• Microsoft.Fabric.ItemUpdateSucceeded
• Microsoft.Fabric.ItemUpdateFailed
• Microsoft.Fabric.ItemDeleteSucceeded
• Microsoft.Fabric.ItemDeleteFailed

Prerequisites

• Access to a workspace in the Fabric capacity license mode (or) the Trial license mode with Contributor or higher permissions.
• A Fabric workspace with events you want to track.

• If you don't have an eventstream, create an eventstream.

Add Fabric Workspace Item events as source

If you haven't added any source to your eventstream yet, select the Connect data sources tile. You can also select Add source > Connect data sources on the ribbon.

If you're adding the source to an already published eventstream, switch to Edit mode. On the ribbon, select Add source > External sources.

On the Select a data source page, search for and select Connect on the Fabric Workspace item events tile.

Configure and connect to Fabric Workspace Item events

1. On the Connect screen, first select Event type(s) of interest that you want to capture in the eventstream. By default, all supported events are captured.

   

2. In the next step, select the right Event source. You can choose between streaming all workspace item events in a tenant by selecting the source option as Across this tenant or restrict to specific workspace by choosing By workspace option. To select a workspace for which you want to stream workspace item events, you must be a workspace admin, member, or contributor of that workspace. To receive workspace item events across the tenant, you need to be a Fabric tenant admin

   

Stream or source details

1. On the Connect page, follow one of these steps based on whether you're using Eventstream or Real-Time hub.

   • Eventstream:

     In the Source details pane to the right, follow these steps:

     1. For Source name, select the Pencil button to change the name.

     2. Notice that Eventstream name and Stream name are read-only.

   • Real-Time hub:

     In the Stream details section to the right, follow these steps:

     1. Select the Fabric workspace where you want to create the eventstream.

     2. For Eventstream name, select the Pencil button, and enter a name for the eventstream.

     3. The Stream name value is automatically generated for you by appending -stream to the name of the eventstream. This stream appears on the real-time hub's All data streams page when the wizard finishes.

2. Select Next at the bottom of the Configure page.

Review and connect

On the Review + connect screen, review the summary, and select Add (Eventstream) or Connect (Real-Time hub).

View updated eventstream

1. Once the connection is created, you can see the Fabric workspace item events source added to your eventstream in Edit mode. Select Publish to publish the eventstream and capture the workspace events.

   

   Note

   Before proceeding with event transformation or routing, ensure that workspace events were triggered and successfully sent to the eventstream.

2. If you want to transform the Fabric workspace events, open your eventstream and select Edit to enter Edit mode. Then you can add operations to transform the Fabric workspace events or route them to a destination such as Lakehouse.
