Alert Rule
An alert rule is a defined resource in Azure that generates an alert based on conditions.
As explained under Alerting, Azure automatically creates the alert rule per resource in the same Resource Group. Regardless, there are general alert rules created under the Resource Group rg-amba-alz-switzerlandnorth. This guide shows how to adjust such a rule. The procedure does not differ from resource-specific alert rules.
An alert rule is usually set to notify an Action Group. 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 sent to the Action Group.
