On this blog post we will cover Azure Monitor Log Alerts. You might know them as Log Analytics alerts but a long time has passed when Log Analytics was standalone service that was not part of Azure Monitor. You may have noticed some UI improvements of those but the biggest improvements were actually under the hood. To my opinion this migration was executed very good with a lot of issues for the customers. No it was not perfect migration but taking into considerations all the complexity of such migrations I would say it was well executed and with thought for the customers. To be honest I will also say that these types of alert are my favorite. The simple reason for that is because by using Kusto queries I have way more room to improvise. Of course the alerts have their own downsides as well but that is the beauty of Azure Monitor alerts. You have flexible choices without being forced to specific one. Enough with the flattery and continue to the interesting parts of this blog post.

As I have mentioned before in Part 1 of the series we have two sub types:

• Number of results
• Metric Measurement
