Resource Manager template samples for resource health alert rules in Azure Monitor

  • Article

This article includes samples of Azure Resource Manager templates to create and configure resource health alerts in Azure Monitor.

Note

See Azure Resource Manager samples for Azure Monitor for a list of samples that are available and guidance on deploying them in your Azure subscription.

See Configure resource health alerts using Resource Manager templates for information about configuring resource health alerts using ARM templates.

Basic template for Resource Health alerts

You can use this base template as a starting point for creating Resource Health alerts. This template will work as written, and will sign you up to receive alerts for all newly activated resource health events across all resources in a subscription.

{
  "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
  "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
  "parameters": {
    "activityLogAlertName": {
      "type": "string",
      "metadata": {
        "description": "Unique name (within the Resource Group) for the Activity log alert."
      }
    },
    "actionGroupResourceId": {
      "type": "string",
      "metadata": {
        "description": "Resource Id for the Action group."
      }
    }
  },
  "resources": [   
    {
      "type": "Microsoft.Insights/activityLogAlerts",
      "apiVersion": "2017-04-01",
      "name": "[parameters('activityLogAlertName')]",      
      "location": "Global",
      "properties": {
        "enabled": true,
        "scopes": [
            "[subscription().id]"
        ],        
        "condition": {
          "allOf": [
            {
              "field": "category",
              "equals": "ResourceHealth"
            },
            {
              "field": "status",
              "equals": "Active"
            }
          ]
        },
        "actions": {
          "actionGroups":
          [
            {
              "actionGroupId": "[parameters('actionGroupResourceId')]"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Template to maximize the signal to noise ratio

This sample template is configured to maximize the signal to noise ratio. Keep in mind that there can be instances cases where the currentHealthStatus, previousHealthStatus, and cause property values may be null in some events.
