Is there a stream / Kafka topic that we can connect to for monitoring all Databricks jobs/workflows (create/status update/fail/error/complete)?

[RyanHager]

Currently we are creating and monitoring jobs using the api. This results in a lot of polling of the API for job status. Is there a Kafka stream, we could listen to get jobs updates and significantly reduce the number of calls to the Databricks jobs api? This should help reducing the "exceeding the rate limit error" for requests (429 return response status code.)

@Ryan Hager​ : The events generated by Databricks jobs are published to a Kafka topic called _job_notification which is available in the Databricks Runtime version 6.3 and above.

Is there any documentation on the Kafka topic called _job_notification? I was not able to find any reference of it or how to use it.

[RyanHager]

This is not a valid/best answer as there is no documentation on the feature or how to use it.
