Supported resources for Azure Monitor metric alerts

This article lists the subset of Azure Monitor metrics that are supported by metric alerts.

You can also use newer alerts on popular log data stored in a Log Analytics workspace extracted as metrics. For more information, see Metric Alerts for Logs.

You can create metric alerts in the Azure portal, the REST API, or Azure Resource Manager templates.
