The noncommon alert schema were historically used to customize alert email templates and webhook schemas for metric, log search, and activity log alert rules. We recommend using the common schema for all alert types and integrations.
This article describes the noncommon alert schema definitions for Azure Monitor, including definitions for:
- Webhooks
- Azure Logic Apps
- Azure Functions
- Azure Automation runbooks
