Alert notification on proactive Traffic manager thresholds

Question

We have met the TM profile limit in our Production Azure Subscription. We attempted to deploy some traffic managers for resources and were unable to do so. An Azure Subscription has a limit of 200 Traffic Manager profiles. We opened a case with Microsoft to adjust the quota limit. we’ve requested an additional 200 and we are awaiting the response of the Internal Azure team to let us know if it’s possible. But in the meantime this seems very reactive and seeing if there is a way to alert us on potential scenarios such as this one where we could be proactive and say it alerts us when we are 10 TM profiles away from the 200 limit. Additionally I know other resources have limits in place by Microsoft and seeing if again there is a way to setup alerting so we are proactive please.

Answer 1

Hi,

You can write a script to check the number of profiles in your subscription and check if it reaches the limit periodically. But there is no alerts on checking the quota that I am aware of.

You can use this command "Get-AzTrafficManagerProfile" and put it in a variable and count the profiles in a specific subscription. Then when you have the number, just compare it with >190 and trigger an email.
