Alert when Azure Container Instance is down

Question

I've looked into using Azure Monitor to send an alert when a container instance goes down, but have not been able to find a way to do this. I see triggers for resource usage and administrative events, but not the case where a container dies and needs to be restarted. Is there a way to do this?

In container instance, you can always specify the restart policy which will manage the restart of the container in case that container process exits. You can read more about it here.

Having said that, I would suggest to have alert on the basis of health url which will ensure your container is ready to serve traffic. Azure monitoring system provides ways to do that, please check this doc for details.
