Question

How to debug Azure monitor alert secure webhook?

John Friesen 146

Is there a way to debug to see if the service principal is working correctly? I am trying to implement it but I can't figure out if the issue is my app registration or what it might be complaining about. Are there any logs for this?

@soumi-MSFT i am not seeing any errors and that is the issue.
here is a rundown of what I am trying to do.
Azure monitoring alert action group -> use secure webhook -> send the request to azure function -> save blob (just to verify execution)

I have followed this documentation as best as i could https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/action-groups#secure-webhook
But it is not clear as to how AD app registration needs to be setup that I am linking to the Alert secure webhook.

The function Authentication/Authorization has been setup correctly from my perspective (i followed a couple of tutorials as to how to secure them with function to function AD security)

The function is not being hit from what I can see in application insights. I suspect that i am missing something with the AD app registration i am using for the webhook.

Just to answer my original question.

There are no logs available to azure users. They do exist but can only be accessed by Support Engineers.
After creating a support request I was able to get some log information relayed that helped me understand what was going on.
Not ideal by any means but that's how it is right now.
