Microsoft Fabric Operations Agent is a feature within the Real Time Intelligence workload that enables organizations to automate the continuous monitoring of streaming data, surface insights when predefined conditions are met, and recommend targeted actions to the right stakeholders. Unlike traditional dashboards that require a human to watch and interpret metrics, the Operations Agent autonomously observes your data, reasons about it using a large language model, and reaches out to your team through Microsoft Teams when something demands attention. This guide is written for solution architects, data engineers, and technical practitioners who want to set up and demonstrate the Operations Agent from scratch. Every step is accompanied by screenshots taken from an actual Fabric environment, so you can follow along with confidence. The scenario used throughout this guide is a data pipeline monitoring use case, where the agent watches for failed pipeline runs and triggers an email alert when failures are detected
