What kind of Monitoring Alet to be set for AzureFileSync

Question

Hi Team,

We have 2 Azure Storage sync services configured in our Envirnoment.

On one of the File Sync Services, we have one of sync group mentioned as Healthy with read exclamation mark. This Filesync service is currently running with the version 9.1

However, we need to set the alert as described in the image attached. Quick response to it will be great.

Regards,

@Girish Prajwal This section provides some example alerts for Azure File Sync: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-sync-files-monitoring#how-to-create-an-alert-if-files-are-failing-to-sync-to-a-server-or-cloud-endpoint

How to create an alert if a registered server is failing to communicate with the Storage Sync Service

• In the Azure portal, navigate to respective Storage Sync Service.
• Go to the Monitoring section and click Alerts.
• Click on + New alert rule to create a new alert rule.
• Configure condition by clicking Select condition.
• Within Configure signal logic blade, click Server online status under signal name.
• Select the following dimension configuration:
• Dimension name: Server name
• Operator: =
• Dimension values: All current and future values
• Navigate to Alert Logic and complete the following:
• Threshold set to Static
• Operator: Less than
• Aggregation type: Maximum
• Threshold value (in bytes): 1
• Evaluated based on: Aggregation granularity = 1 hour | Frequency of evaluation = Every 30 minutes
• Note that the metrics are sent to Azure Monitor every 15 to 20 minutes. Do not set the Frequency of evaluation to less than 30 minutes (will generate false alerts).
• Click Done.
• Click Select action group to add an action group (email, SMS, etc.) to the alert either by selecting an existing action group or creating a new action group.
• Fill in the Alert details like Alert rule name, Description and Severity.
• Click the Create an alert rule.

Server endpoint has a health status of "No Activity" or "Pending" and the server state on the registered servers blade is "Appears offline"

A server endpoint may not log sync activity for the following reasons: The server has reached the maximum number of concurrent sync sessions. Azure File Sync currently supports 2 active sync sessions per processor or a maximum of 8 active sync sessions per server. The server has an active VSS sync session (SnapshotSync). When a VSS sync session is active for a server endpoint, other server endpoints on the server cannot start a start sync session until the VSS sync session completes. To check current sync activity on a server, see How do I monitor the progress of a current sync session? .

Hope this helps!
