@sns , Thank you for the question. Please find below some of the steps and information that should help resolve it.

1. Please confirm that the alert actually got triggered for this machine (even if you did not receive the mail). You can check if from Azure Portal --> VM --> Alerts. If the alert was not generated for CPU % > 1, probably the VM was not busy enough OR it was not busy enough for the duration set (for example, by default the CPU% alert rule considers average of CPU% in the last 5 minutes):

2. If the alert was generated, but you did not get the mail, the following could be the reason:

>>a. In the screenshot, I see that you have selected "Owner" as the role to which the email will be sent to. The Name field can be specified with anything and does not have to contain the emailId. Also, even if you enter the emailId in the name field, as seen in the image above, the email will not be sent to that. Instead, it will be sent to an AAD user who is a member of Subscription Owner role and is an AAD account. Please see this link for details - Email Azure Resource Manager role

3. For test, I would advise using the "Email/SMS message/Push/Voice" Notification type, through which you can send notification to anyone - depending on the details mentioned -

Please let me know if you have any questions.

@sns , thank you for the reply. Can you please check the following for the alert:

1. Are you looking at the correct machine in Portal?
2. You can check all the alerts raised from Azure Monitor (instead of individually checking for it under each resource) by using the "Alerts" option in Monitor. In Azure portal, search for Monitor --> Alerts

Some alerts might not show up due to filters applied. You can check these filters at the top of the view. In your screenshot, it might be possible that the alert is hidden because of these filters.

@sns , To monitor the CPU/ and RAM (available memory), you can use the "Metrics" option available under VM. Here, you can plot the usage graph and also create alert rule as mentioned in this article -
Tutorial: Create a metric alert for an Azure resource

You can also use "Azure Monitor Agent" to collect data from VM and store it in Log Analytics workspace. Once you have the metrics collected in this worksplace, the data can be analyzed using Kusto queries and you can also create log based alert rules to alert based on the requirement. You can also see this tutorial for a good overview of AMA - Microsoft Azure Monitor Agent and Data Collection Rule Overview

Hope this helps.
