Control: Azure > Data Factory > Pipeline > Active

Take an action when an Azure Data Factory pipeline is not active based on the Azure > Data Factory > Pipeline > Active > * policies.

The Active control determines whether the resource is in active use, and if not, has the ability to delete / cleanup the resource. When running an automated compliance environment, it's common to end up with a wide range of alarms that are difficult and time consuming to clear. The Active control brings automated, well-defined control to this process.

The Active control checks the status of all defined Active policies for the resource (Azure > Data Factory > Pipeline > Active > *), raises an alarm, and takes the defined enforcement action. Each Active sub-policy can calculate a status of active, inactive or skipped. Generally, if the resource appears to be Active for any reason it will be considered Active.

Note: In contrast with Approved, where if the resource appears to be Unapproved for any reason it will be considered Unapproved.
