Summary:
Starting March 23, 2026, the tenant setting allowing Workspace Admins to enable monitoring in Microsoft Fabric will be enabled by default. Monitoring is not auto-enabled; Workspace Admins decide to activate it, providing logs and metrics access while maintaining existing governance and security controls.
Details:
[Introduction]
To help organizations gain better operational visibility into Microsoft Fabric workloads while maintaining centralized governance, Microsoft is enabling the tenant setting "Workspace admins can turn on monitoring for their workspaces" by default. This change reflects customer feedback requesting easier access to workspace-level insights without automatically enabling monitoring or changing existing permissions. This update does not turn on monitoring for any workspace.
