Azure Monitor metric
alerts now support all Azure metrics - including platform,
Prometheus, and custom metrics - giving you complete coverage for your monitoring
needs.
In addition, metric alerts now offer powerful query capabilities with PromQL, the industry-standard query language, on Prometheus
metrics, OTel-based VM performance counters, and other OTel
custom metrics ingested into Azure Monitor Workspace (AMW).
Key Capabilities:
- PromQL-based
conditions: Leverage the full power of PromQL for sophisticated metric
selection, aggregation, and transformation.
- Flexible
scoping: Choose between resource-centric alerts for
granular RBAC or workspace-centric alerts for
cross-resource visibility.
- Managed
Identity support: Securely authorize queries using Azure Managed
Identity.
- Customizable
notifications: Add dynamic custom properties and custom email subjects
for faster triage and context-rich alerting.
With query-based metric alerts, you can detect
complex patterns, reduce alert noise, and reuse
existing community-based Prometheus alert logic - all while
maintaining a unified monitoring experience in Azure. This feature empowers
teams to proactively manage performance and reliability at scale, without
sacrificing flexibility or security.
