Azure VM Monitoring Alerts are a powerful feature of Azure Monitor that allow you to monitor and manage the health and performance of your virtual machines running in the Azure cloud. With Azure VM Monitoring Alerts, you can define rules to trigger alerts based on various performance metrics, such as CPU utilization, memory utilization, and disk space utilization. These alerts can be customized to suit your specific needs and can trigger various actions, such as sending notifications or triggering automated remediation tasks, allowing you to proactively respond to potential issues before they impact your users. Azure VM Monitoring Alerts give you the ability to monitor and manage your virtual machines at scale, ensuring that your critical workloads are always running at peak performance.
Azure Monitor Alert for CPU Utilization
Step 1: Log in to the Azure portal and go to the Azure Monitor service.
Step 2: Click on "Alerts" in the left-hand menu and then click on the "New Alert Rule" button.
Step 3: In the "Basics" tab, give your alert a name and a description.
Step 4: Choose the resource you want to monitor for CPU utilization. This could be a virtual machine, a virtual machine scale set, or an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster.
Step 5: In the "Condition" tab, set the condition to monitor CPU utilization. You can specify the threshold value for CPU utilization and the time window over which the average CPU utilization should be calculated.
Step 6: In the "Actions" tab, choose what action should be taken when the alert is triggered. You can send an email, create an SMS message, or trigger a webhook, among other options.
Step 7: Review your alert settings and click on "Create Alert Rule" to save your alert.
Once your alert is defined, Azure Monitor will continuously monitor the resource for CPU utilization and trigger the specified action if the threshold is exceeded.
Note: You can modify or delete the alert at any time from the Azure portal.
Azure Monitor Alert for Memory Utilization
Step 1: Log in to the Azure portal and go to the Azure Monitor service.
Step 2: Click on "Alerts" in the left-hand menu and then click on the "New Alert Rule" button.
Step 3: In the "Basics" tab, give your alert a name and a description.
Step 4: Choose the resource you want to monitor for memory utilization. This could be a virtual machine, a virtual machine scale set, or an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster.
Step 5: In the "Condition" tab, set the condition to monitor memory utilization. You can specify the threshold value for memory utilization and the time window over which the average memory utilization should be calculated.
Step 6: In the "Actions" tab, choose what action should be taken when the alert is triggered. You can send an email, create an SMS message, or trigger a webhook, among other options.
Step 7: Review your alert settings and click on "Create Alert Rule" to save your alert.
Once your alert is defined, Azure Monitor will continuously monitor the resource for memory utilization and trigger the specified action if the threshold is exceeded.
Azure Monitor Alert for Disk Space Utilization
Step 1: Log in to the Azure portal and go to the Azure Monitor service.
Step 2: Click on "Alerts" in the left-hand menu and then click on the "New Alert Rule" button.
Step 3: In the "Basics" tab, give your alert a name and a description.
Step 4: Choose the resource you want to monitor for disk space utilization. This could be a virtual machine, a virtual machine scale set, or an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster.
Step 5: In the "Condition" tab, set the condition to monitor disk space utilization. You can specify the threshold value for disk space utilization and the time window over which the average disk space utilization should be calculated.
Step 6: In the "Actions" tab, choose what action should be taken when the alert is triggered. You can send an email, create an SMS message, or trigger a webhook, among other options.
Step 7: Review your alert settings and click on "Create Alert Rule" to save your alert.
Once your alert is defined, Azure Monitor will continuously monitor the resource for disk space utilization and trigger the specified action if the threshold is exceeded.
Azure Monitor Alert for Heartbeat
Step 1: Log in to the Azure portal and go to the Azure Monitor service.
Step 2: Click on "Alerts" in the left-hand menu and then click on the "New Alert Rule" button.
Step 3: In the "Basics" tab, give your alert a name and a description.
Step 4: Choose the resource you want to monitor for heartbeat. This could be a virtual machine, an application, or any other resource that can send a heartbeat signal.
Step 5: In the "Condition" tab, set the condition to monitor the heartbeat signal. You can specify the threshold value for the time since the last heartbeat signal was received, and the frequency at which the heartbeat signal is expected to be sent.
Step 6: In the "Actions" tab, choose what action should be taken when the alert is triggered. You can send an email, create an SMS message, or trigger a webhook, among other options.
Step 7: Review your alert settings and click on "Create Alert Rule" to save your alert.
Once your alert is defined, Azure Monitor will continuously monitor the resource for heartbeat signals and trigger the specified action if the expected frequency of the heartbeat signal is not met or if the time since the last heartbeat signal exceeds the specified threshold. This alert can help you proactively detect and respond to issues related to the availability of your resources.
