Filter notifications by using Event Level in Azure Service Health

To help you prioritize Azure Service Health event communications, the Service Issues pane includes a new metadata field called Event Level. This field can help you understand the significance of each communication and rapidly evaluate the importance of each alert.

You can use this feature to filter and sort events, and more effectively prioritize your actions.

Access to the Event Level metadata field

Everyone with access to the subscription can view and filter by Event Level.

Event Level alert definitions

Alert type Definition
Informational There's no current service availability impact, but there's a potential for future problems in a specific region.
Warning Potential service problems in a region could affect availability or performance if high availability or disaster recovery isn't used, or if the problems persist.
Critical We recommend immediate attention. Widespread problems affect multiple regions or services, which risk the failure of high availability or disaster recovery measures.
