Impacted Resources from Outages

Azure Service Health helps customers monitor any health events that affect their subscriptions and tenants. In the Azure portal, the Service Issues pane within Service Health displays any ongoing problems in Azure services that are affecting your resources.
You can see when each issue began and which services and regions are impacted.

This article explains what Service Health communicates and where to find information about your impacted resources.

View impacted resources

In the Azure portal, the Impacted Resources tab under Service Health > Service Issues displays resources that are or might be impacted by an outage. Service Health provides this information to users when an outage impacts their resources:

Column	Description
Resource Name	Name of the resource. The name is a clickable link that goes to the Resource Health page to show the resource. If no Resource Health signal is available for the resource, this name is text only.
Resource Health	Health status of the resource: Available: Your resource is healthy, but a service event might impact it at a some point in time. Degraded or Unavailable: A customer-initiated action or a platform-initiated action might cause this status. It means your resource was impacted but might now be healthy, pending a status update. Unknown: This status means that the system doesn't any health information from the resource for more than 10 minutes. However, it isn't necessarily an indication of a problem with the resource itself, as it often reflects a lack of telemetry or communication from the resource provider.
Impact Type	Indication of whether the resource is or might be impacted: Confirmed: The resource is impacted from an outage. Check the Summary section for any action items that you can take to remediate the problem. Potential: The resource isn't impacted, but it could potentially be affected because it's under a service or region experiencing an outage. Check the Resource Health column to make sure that everything is working as planned.
Resource Type	Type of impacted resource (for example, virtual machine).
Resource Group	Resource group that contains the impacted resource.
Location	Location that contains the impacted resource.
Subscription ID	Unique ID for the subscription that contains the impacted resource.
Subscription Name	Subscription name for the subscription that contains the impacted resource.

The following is an example of outage Impacted Resources from the subscription and tenant scope.

Note

Not all resources in subscription scope will show a Resource Health status. The status appears only on resources for which a Resource Health signal is available. The status of resources for which a Resource Health signal is not available appears as N/A, and the corresponding Resource Name value is text instead of a clickable link.

Note

Resource Health status, tenant name, and tenant ID are not included at the tenant level scope. The corresponding Resource Name value is text only instead of a clickable link.

Filter results

You can adjust the results using these filters:

• Impact type: Select Confirmed or Potential.
• Subscription ID: Show all subscription IDs that the user can access.
• Status: Focus on Resource Health status by selecting Available, Unavailable, Degraded, Unknown, or N/A.
