Answer 1

Hello @venkata suresh - Thanks for reaching out.

Enable Alert for following situations :
· When CPU or memory utilization on cluster nodes exceeds a threshold
· When CPU or memory utilization on any container within a controller exceeds a threshold as compared to a limit that's set on the corresponding resource
· NotReady status node counts
· Failed, Pending, Unknown, Running, or Succeeded pod-phase counts
· When free disk space on cluster nodes exceeds a threshold

Also find the below steps to create an Alert for AKS resources.

1. Go to Azure Portal.
2. Find Monitor from Search Option.
3. Click on Alerts.
4. Click on New Alert Rules.
5. Click On Select Resource
6. Select Subscription and Resource Type As Kubernetes Service.
7. Select the AKS cluster and click on Done.
   After Selecting the Resources , you can click on Condition and you will see the options.
