Windows Azure Alerts Notification Service


Windows Azure Alerts is a new cloud platform service designed for administering and monitoring computing cloud resources deployed in Windows Azure.

Windows Azure developers and administrators can easily set up monitoring rules for the metrics of their websites , mobile services, cloud services or virtual machines and receive alerts when their status changes.

In the preview phase, the Windows Azure Alerts service offers the ability to configure up to ten metric monitoring rules.

Windows Azure users can customize the monitoring of various performance indicators for websites , mobile services, cloud services and virtual machines. For example: CPU consumption, hard disk I / O operations, incoming and outgoing traffic values ​​and others.

When a configured rule is triggered, that is, when one of the parameters reaches a specified target value, Windows Azure Alerts service can send notifications to email addresses of account administrators, co-administrators, or another arbitrary address.

For each given rule, a dashboard is available that allows you to track changes in monitored metrics.
