Azure Arc sites provide a centralized view to monitor groups of resources, but they don't provide monitoring capabilities for sites overall. Instead, you can set up alerts and monitoring for supported resources within a site. After alerts are set up and triggered depending on the alert criteria, the Azure Arc site manager (preview) makes the resource alert status visible within the site pages.
If you aren't familiar with Azure Monitor, learn more about how to monitor Azure resources with Azure Monitor.
Prerequisites
- An Azure subscription. If you don't have a service subscription, create a free trial account in Azure.
- Azure portal access.
- Internet connectivity.
- A resource group or subscription or service group in Azure with at least one resource for a site. For more information, see Supported resource types.
Configure alerts for sites in Azure Arc
This section provides basic steps for configuring alerts for sites in Azure Arc. For more information about Azure Monitor, see Create or edit an alert rule.
To configure alerts for sites in Azure Arc, follow these steps:
Go to Azure Monitor by searching for monitor in the Azure portal. Select Monitor.
On the Overview page, select Alerts on either the service menu or in the boxes shown on the primary pane.
On the Alerts page, you can manage existing alerts or create new ones:
- Select Alert rules to see all of the alerts currently in effect in your subscription.
- Select Create to create an alert rule for a specific resource. If a resource is managed as part of a site, any alerts triggered via its rule appear in the site manager overview.
By having either existing alert rules or creating a new alert rule, after the rule is in place for resources supported by the Azure Arc site monitor, any alerts that are triggered on that resource are visible on the Overview tab for the site.
