We can use the [[202408041409 Types of monitoring data in Azure|Types of monitoring data in Azure]] collected in [[202404281601 Azure monitoring old|Azure monitoring]] to create alerts.

Three types of data can be used for alerts:

1. Metrics - [[202408111240 Create an Azure metric alert|Create an azure metric alert]]
2. Activity logs (When state changes for an [[202404061212 Azure Resources|Azure resource]])
3. Logs

Alerts are created based on rules. When an alert is triggered it is in fired state. When it is fixed, it is in resolved state.

Action groups define what happens after alert is triggered. once an action group is created it can be added to multiple alerts. Use alert processing rules to override common behaviours.
