We are excited to announce the Public Preview of Simple Log Alerts in Azure Monitor, available starting in mid-May. This new feature is designed to provide a simplified and more intuitive experience for monitoring and alerting, enhancing your ability to detect and respond to issues in near real-time. Unlike Log Search Alerts that aggregate rows over a defined period, Simple Log Alerts evaluate each row individually.
Key Benefits
Simplified Query Language: Unlike Log Search Alerts that use complex queries, Simple Log Alerts use the transform Kusto Query Language (KQL).
Low Latency Alerting: By evaluating each row individually, Simple Log Alerts provide faster alerting compared to Log Search Alerts. This means that alerts are triggered in near real-time, allowing for quicker incident response.
Broad Applicability: Simple Log Alerts support multiple log tiers, including Analytics and Basic Logs, which previously did not have any alerting solution.
Pricing Information
The pricing for Simple Log Alerts is based on one-minute alerting and is the same as traditional log alerts. For detailed pricing information.
