Terms in this definition
- Azure Monitor alerts
Rules in Azure Monitor that send notifications or trigger actions once a condition on metrics, logs or the activity log is satisfied.
- Planned maintenance
Updates Microsoft schedules for the Azure platform. Most leave VMs untouched; where a reboot is needed, Service Health gives notice and a period during which you can trigger the maintenance on your own timetable.
- Action groups
Sets of notification and automation targets in Azure Monitor that an alert calls when it fires. Detecting the problem is the alert rule's job, not theirs.
