Azure Service Health: Get notified when Azure service incidents impact your resources

Why Azure Service Health?

Azure Service Health provides timely and personalized information when problems in Azure services impact your services. It also helps you prepare for upcoming planned maintenance.

Service Health tracks three types of health events that may impact your resources:

1. Service issues - Problems in the Azure services that affect you right now. 
2. Planned maintenance - Upcoming maintenance that can affect the availability of your services in the future. 
3. Health advisories - Changes in Azure services that require your attention. Examples include when Azure features are deprecated or if you exceed a usage quota.

How to Create an alert on a service health notification using Azure portal?

1. In the Azure portal, select Service Health
   
2. In the Alerts section, select Health alerts
   
3. Select Create service health alert and fill in the fields
   
   
4. Once you click “OK”, you will be brought back to the health dashboard with a confirmation that your new alert was successfully created.
