Pipelines

Synapse pipeline observability is not implemented yet. This page is internal and records the planned design. It is not part of the released Synapse connector, which covers Dedicated SQL pools and Serverless SQL. See Azure Synapse overview.

Planned permissions

Pipeline permissions are Synapse RBAC roles, assigned in Synapse Studio under Manage → Access control → Add, at workspace scope. The Azure portal doesn’t assign them, and Azure Owner or Contributor doesn’t grant them. The Azure Reader role on the workspace is also needed, because Pipelines and the Monitoring Hub use the Azure Resource Manager API.

Role	Purpose
Synapse Artifact User	Read pipelines, activities, data flows, triggers, and linked services
Synapse Monitoring Operator	Read pipeline, activity, and trigger runs

az synapse role assignment create --workspace-name <workspace> \
  --role "Synapse Artifact User" --assignee <client-id-or-principal-id>
az synapse role assignment create --workspace-name <workspace> \
  --role "Synapse Monitoring Operator" --assignee <client-id-or-principal-id>

Prizm would need to reach <workspace>.dev.azuresynapse.net on port 443. SQL authentication does not apply to pipelines.

Planned collection

Synapse object	What Prizm would store
Pipeline	Pipeline, with its folder, annotations, owner, schedule, last run and status, and activity list
Activity	Child of its pipeline
Trigger	Schedule metadata
Data flow	Child of its pipeline
Pipeline runs	Status, duration, activity-level failures, and triggers that have stopped firing

Symptom	Likely cause
Pipelines aren’t listed	Synapse Artifact User is missing, or was granted in Azure instead of Synapse Studio
Pipeline runs are missing	Synapse Monitoring Operator is missing
