Let go over a simple one – how to create various types of alert rules in Azure using the AZ PowerShell Module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each example targets a different aspect of Azure monitoring, but doesn’t cover them all. Remember to tweak the parameters to match your environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To keep an eye on Azure service metrics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$criteria = New-AzMetricAlertRuleV2Criteria -MetricName 'Percentage CPU' -TimeAggregation Average -Operator GreaterThan -Threshold 80\n\nAdd-AzMetricAlertRuleV2 -Name 'HighCPUAlert' -ResourceGroupName 'YourResourceGroupName' -WindowSize 00:05:00 -Frequency 00:01:00 -TargetResourceId '\/subscriptions\/yourSubscriptionId\/resourceGroups\/yourResourceGroupName\/providers\/Microsoft.Compute\/virtualMachines\/yourVMName' -Condition $criteria -ActionGroup '\/subscriptions\/yourSubscriptionId\/resourceGroups\/yourResourceGroupName\/providers\/microsoft.insights\/actionGroups\/yourActionGroupName' -Severity 3 -Description 'Alert on high CPU usage.'\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\nLog Alerts for Custom Log Queries<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
For alerts based on log analytics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
