Azure alert for AKS autoscaling

Question

Is there any option to trigger Azure alerts whenever AKS cluster is scaled up or down?

Answer 1

Hello Sujina S J Thank should be possible by creating a Diagnostic Setting to retrieve the cluster autoscaler logs, by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/cluster-autoscaler#retrieve-cluster-autoscaler-logs-and-status. Then, you can identify the logs that show the scale up or down operation and create a custom query for that. Then, based on that custom query, you can create a log based alert as per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/containers/container-insights-log-alerts
