Azure Resource Notifications - Resource Management events in Azure Event Grid
The Azure Resource Management system topic provides insights into the life cycle of various Azure resources.
The Event Grid system topics for Azure subscriptions and Azure resource groups provide resource life cycle events using a broader range of event types including action, write, and delete events for scenarios involving success, failure, and cancellation. However, it's worth noting that they don't include the resource payload. For details about these events, see Event Grid system topic for Azure subscriptions and Event Grid system topic for Azure resource groups.
In contrast, the Azure Resource Notifications (ARN) powered Azure Resource Management system topic offers a more targeted selection of event types, specifically CreatedOrUpdated
(corresponding to ResourceWriteSuccess
in the Event Grid Azure subscription system topic), and Deleted
(corresponding to ResourceDeleteSuccess
in the Event Grid Azure subscription system topic). These events come with comprehensive payload information, making it easier for customers to apply filtering and refine their notification stream.
For the list of resource types exposed, see Azure Resource Graph resources or use the following Azure Resource Graph query.
resources
| distinct ['type']
Note
Azure Resource Management system topic doesn't yet support all the resource types from the resources table of Azure Resource Graph. We are working on improving this experience.
Event types
ARN Resources system topic offers two event types for consumption:
Event type | Description |
---|---|
Microsoft.ResourceNotifications.Resources.CreatedOrUpdated |
Raised when a resource is successfully created or updated. |
Microsoft.ResourceNotifications.Resources.Deleted |
Raised when a resource is deleted. |
Role-based access control
Currently, these events are exclusively emitted at the Azure subscription scope. It implies that the entity creating the event subscription for this topic type receives notifications throughout this Azure subscription. For security reasons, it's imperative to restrict the ability to create event subscriptions on this topic to principals with read access over the entire Azure subscription. To access data via this system topic, in addition to the generic permissions required by Event Grid, the following Azure Resource Notifications specific permission is necessary: Microsoft.ResourceNotifications/systemTopics/subscribeToResources/action
.

and Deleted
