Description

Create an activity log alert for Service Health event.

Rationale

Monitoring for Service Health events provides insight into service issues, planned maintenance, security advisories, and other changes that may affect the Azure services and regions in use.

Impact

There is no charge for creating activity log alert rules.

Audit

This policy flags an Azure Subscription as INCOMPLIANT if it does not have an enabled related Azure Activity Log Alert scoped to the subscription whose Condition JSON filters on ServiceHealth.

Default Value

By default, no monitoring alerts are created.
