Facing issue in the below mentioned code: dbutils.notebook.entry_point.getDbutils().notebook().getContext().tags().get('browserHostName').get() while executing through workflow, but it's totally working fine with workspace.

Please do let me know how to resolve this issue?

Hi @Pranchal Gupta​, The browserHostName tag is only available when running a notebook in a Databricks workspace and not when executing the notebook as part of a workflow.

The browserHostName tag is set by the Databricks notebook frontend and unavailable in a workflow context.

Is that means it couldn’t be possible we can retrieve the instance name with workflow using this method?

Having one more doubt using workflow as well we are using the notebook only so then how is it different scenario?

I had the same question... 

I found you can achieve the same with spark.conf.get('spark.databricks.workspaceUrl')

@Prank  why do you want the browser hostname?

[tessaickx]

Hi @BilalAslamDbrx 
I am not @Prank  but I needed it for calling the serving_endpoints API.

"https://{databricks_host}/api/2.0/serving-endpoints/"

[BilalAslamDbrx]

Ah I see @tessaickx ... did the `spark.conf` solution work for you?

[tessaickx]

It does work yes.

Awesome thanks @tessaickx 🙂
