Service Health alerts

The Health Alerts panel in Azure Service Health helps you view and manage alerts about service problems, planned maintenance, health advisories, and security advisories. These alerts notify you about events that could affect your resources.

It shows only the alerts that you create based on the criteria you configured, such as subscription, services, regions, and event types. Health alerts are tied to your alert rules, not to all events occurring in Azure.

For information about how to create Service Health alerts, see How to create Service Health alerts.

Service Health alert notifications

You’re notified when Azure sends relevant Service Health notifications to your subscription or tenant directory. The alerts must be configured using the Service Health interface, including selecting subscriptions, services, and regions.

The Overview panel displays the basic information in the alert that you set up when you created the Health alert.

There's an option on this panel to show information about the JSON View.

JSON View opens the raw JSON payload of the Service Health alert. This JSON is the same structure used by:

  • Resource ID, subscription, region
  • Health status and status change timestamps
  • Reason codes / cause category
  • Platform‑initiated vs. user‑initiated actions
  • Correlated event IDs
  • Metadata used by automation tools (for example, Action Groups, Logic Apps, Functions)
  • Full activityLog.properties as not all fields are shown in the UI

Activity log

Select Activity log to open the panel showing information from the Activity log located in Azure Monitor.

Note

This panel isn't exclusive to Service Health alerts. It's part of the general Activity Log alert experience that includes both Resource Health and Service Health alerts.

For more information about the Activity log, see Azure Monitor data sources and data collection.

Access control (IAM)

Select Access Control (IAM) to open the panel that shows what access you have, and also where you can assign role access. For more information, see Check access for a user.

Tags

Select Tags to open the panel with an option to select tags by Name and Value.

For more information, see Use tags to organize your resources.

Diagnose and solve problems

Select Diagnose and solve problems to open the panel showing what options for diagnosing what the issue is on this alert.

History

Select History to open the panel showing any available history for this issue. You can filter by a time range if you need it.

Resource visualizer

Select Resource visualizer to open the panel to see the position of the resource in the hierarchy (subscription > resource group > resource). This view helps you understand relationships or dependencies when you're troubleshooting a Service Health or Resource Health alert.
