Alert Rule

An alert rule is a defined resource in Azure that generates an alert based on conditions.

As explained under Alerting, an alert rule is automatically created by Azure per resource in the same Resource Group. Regardless, there are general alert rules created under the Resource Group rg-amba-alz-switzerlandnorth. In this guide, such a rule is adjusted. The procedure does not differ from resource-specific alert rules.

An alert rule is usually set so that an action group is notified. In the simplest case, the action group contains the email address of the person to be notified.

Set Thresholds

In this example, individual Service Alerts are adjusted so that not all warnings are forwarded to the action group.
