Azure Data Factory how to deploy Alerts & Metrics to other environments with DevOps

Is this possible at all?'

Quick answer is NO so far. I contacted Microsoft ADF team and got below response:

Azure Data Factory utilizes Azure Resource Manager templates to store the configuration of your various ADF entities. Entities on Alerts & Metrics does not get exported in the ARM template, so Alerts & Metrics won’t be integrated using DevOps.

I did 2 verifications:

1.Check ARM template supported entities in ADF, Alerts & Metrics doesn't exist.

2.Try to export ARM template in the ADF UI but still no Alerts & Metrics

Really understand you would like to integrate all elements in Data Factory including Alerts & Metrics with DevOps. I suggest you submitting feedback here to push improvements of ADF, any voice is welcome.

There is a way to work around this one. ADF alert is a "Microsoft.Insights/metricalerts" resource that you can deploy using ARM deployment operation from Azure Devops. You can try to create an alert in ADF and then go to Portal, search for: Monitor > Alert > Alert Rule, and find the Alert you created in ADF. In my case there is an Alert called Test

Here is the ARM template exported from the alert
