4.2Configuring Alerts and Notifications

Key points

Understand alerts that fire on metric/log conditions, action groups for notification/automated response, and notifications on job failures. Detect issues early and respond automatically to stabilize operations.

Automation includes not just "execution" but also "detecting and notifying anomalies." Learn of high CPU or job failures early and trigger automated responses.

4.2.1Alerts and notifications

Diagram showing conditions (metrics like CPU/DTU/storage, logs, job failures) firing alerts, then action groups (email/SMS, webhook, Logic Apps, Automation runbook) performing notification/automated response, with an early-detect → notify → auto-remediate loop.
Alerts and action groups
  • Alerts: fire on metric (CPU/DTU/storage) or log conditions.
  • Action groups: notify/auto-respond via email/SMS, webhook, Logic Apps, Automation runbooks.
  • Job notifications: alert on failures of SQL Agent/Elastic Jobs to avoid missing them.
  • Auto-remediation: trigger runbooks/Logic Apps from alerts to automate routine responses.
Exam point

Common on DP-300: fire on conditions = alerts, notify/auto-respond = action groups (email, webhook, runbook), notify on job failures, alert → runbook for auto-remediation. Combine monitoring (prev. chapter), alerts, and Automation.
