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 evaluates Azure Subscriptions for the presence of an Azure Activity Log Alert that captures Service Health events. A subscription is marked as INCOMPLIANT if it does not have an Activity Log Alert whose Condition JSON filters on the ServiceHealth operation and the Scope is set to subscription.

Default Value​

By default, no monitoring alerts are created.
