Hi,

That is correct by default an action group does not support sending alert notifications directly to Teams thus you need to use automation tool like Logic App for example. You should use the article provided to create. Once you create the Logic App action groups provide the capability to test it so you can test if the notification appears in Teams correctly or the Logic App is failing. Note that the example is for alert of type Metric alert. You should use common alert schema and there is specific payload for Log Alerts v2 to provide information that is specific for Log Alerts v2. Here you can find another example of Logic app with Teams notification or Outlook e-mail. where the information is send to e-mail.

I am assuming based on the last update date that the article you provided is available and offers a detailed guide on setting up Azure Monitor alert notifications via Microsoft Teams using Azure Logic Apps.

It outlines a step-by-step process starting from creating a blank Logic App, configuring it to send alerts based on specific conditions, setting up an Action Group in Azure Monitor, and finally adding the new action group to your alert rules for monitoring.

The process involves configuring HTTP requests, parsing JSON payloads, and formatting messages to be sent to Teams. It's essential to test the setup to ensure alerts are correctly received in Teams

Select User from the Post as dropdown. Select Group chat from the Post in dropdown. Select your group from the Group chat dropdown. Create the message text in the Message field by entering static text and including content taken from the alert payload by choosing fields from the Dynamic content list.
