Resource Manager template samples for Azure Monitor service health alert rules
This article includes samples of Azure Resource Manager templates to create and configure service health alerts in Azure Monitor.
Note
See Azure Resource Manager samples for Azure Monitor for a list of samples that are available and guidance on deploying them in your Azure subscription.
Template for creating service health alert rules
The following template creates a service health alert rule that sends notifications of service health events for the target subscription. Save this template as CreateServiceHealthAlert.json
and modify it as needed.
Points to note:
- The 'scopes' of a service health alert rule can only contain a single subscription, which must be the same subscription in which the rule is created. Multiple subscriptions, a resource group, or other types of scope aren't supported.
- You can create service health alert rules only in the "Global" location.
- The "properties.incidentType", "properties.impactedServices[].ServiceName" and "properties.impactedServices[].ImpactedRegions[*].RegionName" clauses within the rule condition are optional. You can remove these clauses to be notified on events sent for all incident types, all services, and/or all regions, respectively.
- The service names used in the "properties.impactedServices[*].ServiceName" must be a valid Azure service name. A list of valid names can be retrieved at the Resource Health Metadata List API
