Is there a way to check if Azure B2C is down and generate an alert.

Question

Hi,

There have been few instances where B2C was down globally in the past. And the support team got information about this after 2 hours as multiple users started complaining. Is there way to create alert if b2c is down instead of checking out the Azure Status and getting a alert to our mailbox.

@Shreyas Parab ,

I understand that you are looking for a way to programmatically poll the service health of B2C service and generate automatic alerts from it . At this point its not possible to get health status of the B2C programmatically using an api call . You would have to rely on the alerts from the service Health dashboard within the azure portal or create manual alert from the portal form the Service Heath blade. Please follow the video doc link on how to create the manual alert and you should see the following options form service health blade.

Here you can see the option for selecting B2C service and select relevant event type as needed.

This is how you can create the service health alert for B2C for now. This will incur some cost as it leverages Azure monitor but it will be minimalistic just for one service. For now , I have created a feature request on the Azure Feedback Portal and would request you to upvote the same.

Please see another answer of mine which provides more details on this. Hope this helps .
