Azure Monitor now offers one-click enablement of Prometheus
recommended alerts directly in the Azure Portal for AKS clusters. These alerts, based on
enhanced Prometheus community rules, provide comprehensive coverage across
cluster, node, and pod levels. Previously, enabling these alerts required
manual template downloads and CLI deployment.
To use these alerts, your cluster must have Azure Monitor managed service for
Prometheus enabled. They serve as the replacement for the legacy Container
insights recommended alerts (custom metrics) (preview).
By enabling these alerts, customers will:
- Receive
timely notifications on critical cluster issues.
- Accelerate
triage and troubleshooting with preconfigured signal coverage.
- Improve
cluster reliability and performance with minimal configuration.
Soon, these alerts will also be enabled by default when
provisioning AKS clusters through the Azure Portal.
