Monitoring a function for a minimum number of succesful runs over a week.

Question

I need to setup up alerting to alert if a function runs less than 5 times per week. It's using a blob trigger.

I cannot monitor for failures as we may not get sent the blobs, so the function would just not run and not trigger an alert.

Any ideas how to do this?

Hi there,

Yes. Log-based alerts are limited to up 2 days.
If you need a result with a longer time range, as a workaround you can create and run your query in LogicApps and to trigger a notification via LogicApps to where and when you need.

Hi @Anonymous

Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

First, add a log analytics workspace to your Function App

Then you must create an alert role with the signal "Custom log search"

If you have this message

is because you might not already configure the log analytics or still you don't have data on it.

Here you must create a query that gives the result that you require.

After creating the query, you can configure the parameter of your alert.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Carlos Solís Salazar ,

That approach only allows for the evaluation of logs over a maximum of two days.
