This article discusses common problems in Azure Monitor alerting and notifications.

Azure Monitor alerts proactively notify you when important conditions are found in your monitoring data. They allow you to identify and address issues before the users of your system notice them. For more information on alerting, see Overview of alerts in Microsoft Azure.

If you have a problem with an alert firing or not firing when expected, refer to the articles below. You can see 'fired' alerts in the Azure portal.

If the alert fires as intended according to the Azure portal but the proper notifications do not occur, use the information in the rest of this article to troubleshoot that problem.

Action or notification on my alert did not work as expected

If you can see a fired alert in the Azure portal, but have an issue with some of its actions or notifications, see the following sections.

Remove

Did not receive expected email

If you can see a fired alert in the Azure portal, but did not receive the email that you have configured about it, follow these steps:

  1. Was the email suppressed by an action rule?

    Check by clicking on the fired alert in the portal, and look at the history tab for suppressed action groups:

  2. Is the type of action 'Email Azure Resource Manager Role'?

    This action only looks at Azure Resource Manager role assignments that are at the subscription scope, and of type User. Make sure that you have assigned the role at the subscription level, and not at the resource level or resource group level.

  3. Are your email server and mailbox accepting external emails?

    Verify that emails from these three addresses are not blocked:

    • azure-noreply@microsoft.com
    • azureemail-noreply@microsoft.com
    • alerts-noreply@mail.windowsazure.com

    It is common that internal mailing lists or distribution lists block emails from external email addresses. You must allow mail from the above email addresses.
    To test, add a regular work email address (not a mailing list) to the action group and see if alerts arrive to that email.

  4. Was the email processed by inbox rules or a spam filter?

    Verify that there are no inbox rules that delete those emails or move them to a side folder. For example, inbox rules could catch specific senders or specific words in the subject.

    Also, check:

    • the spam settings of your email client (like Outlook, Gmail)
      • the sender limits / spam settings / quarantine settings of your email server (like Exchange, Microsoft 365, G-suite)
      • the settings of your email security appliance, if any (like Barracuda, Cisco).
  5. Have you accidentally unsubscribed from the action group?

    The alert emails provide a link to unsubscribe from the action group. To check if you have accidentally unsubscribed from this action group, either:

    1. Open the action group in the portal and check the Status column:
    1. Search your email for the unsubscribe confirmation:

    To subscribe again – either use the link in the unsubscribe confirmation email you have received, or remove the email address from the action group, and then add it back again.

  6. Have you been rated limited due to many emails going to a single email address?

    Email is rate limited to no more than 100 emails every hour to each email address. If you pass this threshold, additional email notifications are dropped. Check if you have received a message indicating that your email address has been temporarily rate limited:

    If you would like to receive high-volume of notifications without rate limiting, consider using a different action, such as webhook, logic app, Azure function, or automation runbooks, none of which are rate limited.

Did not receive expected SMS, voice call, or push notification

If you can see a fired alert in the portal, but did not receive the SMS, voice call or push notification that you have configured about it, follow these steps:

  1. Was the action suppressed by an action rule?

    Check by clicking on the fired alert in the portal, and look at the history tab for suppressed action groups:

    If that was unintentional, you can modify, disable, or delete the action rule.

  2. SMS / voice: Is your phone number correct?

    Check the SMS action for typos in the country code or phone number.

  3. SMS / voice: have you been rate limited?

    SMS and voice calls are rate limited to no more than one notification every five minutes per phone number. If you pass this threshold, the notifications will be dropped.

    • Voice call – check your call history and see if you had a different call from Azure in the preceding five minutes.
    • SMS - check your SMS history for a message indicating that your phone number has been rate limited.

    If you would like to receive high-volume of notifications without rate limiting, consider using a different action, such as webhook, logic app, Azure function, or automation runbooks, none of which are rate limited.

  4. SMS: Have you accidentally unsubscribed from the action group?

    Open your SMS history and check if you have opted out of SMS delivery from this specific action group (using the DISABLE action_group_short_name reply) or from all action groups (using the STOP reply). To subscribe again, either send the relevant SMS command (ENABLE action_group_short_name or START), or remove the SMS action from the action group, and then add it back again. For more information, see SMS alert behavior in action groups.

  5. Have you accidentally blocked the notifications on your phone?

    Most mobile phones allow you to block calls or SMS from specific phone numbers or short codes, or to block push notifications from specific apps (such as the Azure mobile app). To check if you accidentally blocked the notifications on your phone, search the documentation specific for your phone operating system and model, or test with a different phone and phone number.

Expected another type of action to trigger, but it did not

If you can see a fired alert in the portal, but its configured action did not trigger, follow these steps:

  1. Was the action suppressed by an action rule?

    Check by clicking on the fired alert in the portal, and look at the history tab for suppressed action groups:

    If that was unintentional, you can modify, disable, or delete the action rule.

  2. Did a webhook not trigger?

    1. Have the source IP addresses been blocked?

      Add the IP addresses that the webhook is called from to your allow list.

    2. Does your webhook endpoint work correctly?

      Verify the webhook endpoint you have configured is correct and the endpoint is working correctly. Check your webhook logs or instrument its code so you could investigate (for example, log the incoming payload).

    3. Are you calling Slack or Microsoft Teams?
      Each of these endpoints expects a specific JSON format. Follow these instructions to configure a logic app action instead.

    4. Did your webhook became unresponsive or returned errors?

      Our timeout period for a webhook response is 10 seconds. The webhook call will be retried up to two additional times when the following HTTP status codes are returned: 408, 429, 503, 504, or when the HTTP endpoint does not respond. The first retry happens after 10 seconds. The second and final retry happens after 100 seconds. If the second retry fails, the endpoint will not be called again for 30 minutes for any action group.

Action or notification happened more than once

If you have received a notification for an alert (such as an email or an SMS) more than once, or the alert's action (such as webhook or Azure function) was triggered multiple times, follow these steps:

How to remove notification sender
  1. Is it really the same alert?

    In some cases, multiple similar alerts are fired at around the same time. So, it might just seem like the same alert triggered its actions multiple times. For example, an activity log alert rule might be configured to fire both when an event has started, and when it has finished (succeeded or failed), by not filtering on the event status field.

    To check if these actions or notifications came from different alerts, examine the alert details, such as its timestamp and either the alert id or its correlation id. Alternatively, check the list of fired alerts in the portal. If that is the case, you would need to adapt the alert rule logic or otherwise configure the alert source.

  2. Does the action repeat in multiple action groups?

    When an alert is fired, each of its action groups is processed independently. So, if an action (such as an email address) appears in multiple triggered action groups, it would be called once per action group.

    To check which action groups were triggered, check the alert history tab. You would see there both action groups defined in the alert rule, and action groups added to the alert by action rules:

Action or notification has an unexpected content

If you have received the alert, but believe some of its fields are missing or incorrect, follow these steps:

  1. Did you pick the correct format for the action?

    Each action type (email, webhook, etc.) has two formats – the default, legacy format, and the newer common schema format. When you create an action group, you specify the format you want per action – different actions in the action groups may have different formats.

    For example, for webhook action:

    Check if the format specified at the action level is what you expect. For example, you may have developed code that responds to alerts (webhook, function, logic app, etc.), expecting one format, but later in the action you or another person specified a different format.

    Also, check the payload format (JSON) for activity log alerts, for log search alerts (both Application Insights and log analytics), for metric alerts, for the common alert schema, and for the deprecated classic metric alerts.

  2. Activity log alerts: Is the information available in the activity log?

    Activity log alerts are alerts that are based on events written to the Azure Activity Log, such as events about creating, updating, or deleting Azure resources, service health and resource health events, or findings from Azure Advisor and Azure Policy. If you have received an alert based on the activity log but some fields that you need are missing or incorrect, first check the events in the activity log itself. If the Azure resource did not write the fields you are looking for in its activity log event, those fields will not be included in the corresponding alert.

Action rule is not working as expected

If you can see a fired alert in the portal, but a related action rule did not work as expected, follow these steps:

  1. Is the action rule enabled?

    Check the action rule status column to verify that the related action role is enabled.

    If it is not enabled, you can enable the action rule by selecting it and clicking Enable.

  2. Is it a service health alert?

    Service health alerts (monitor service = 'Service Health') are not affected by action rules.

  3. Did the action rule act on your alert?

    Check if the action rule has processed your alert by clicking on the fired alert in the portal, and look at the history tab.

    Here is an example of action rule suppressing all action groups:

    Here is an example of an action rule adding another action group:

  4. Does the action rule scope and filter match the fired alert?

    If you think the action rule should have fired but didn't, or that it shouldn't have fired but it did, carefully examine the action rule scope and filter conditions versus the properties of the fired alert.

How to find the alert ID of a fired alert

When opening a case about a specific fired alert (such as – if you did not receive its email notification), you will need to provide the alert ID.

How To Remove Notification Sender

To locate it, follow these steps:

  1. In the Azure portal, navigate to the list of fired alerts, and find that specific alert. You can use the filters to help you locate it.

  2. Click on the alert to open the alert details.

  3. Scroll down in the alert fields of the first tab (the summary tab) until you locate it, and copy it. That field also includes a 'Copy to clipboard' helper button you can use.

Get Notifications From These Senders Missing Chrome

Hi there,
There is one particular application which doesn't show up under 'Get notifications from these senders' (Settings --> Notifications & actions --> Get notifications from these senders). This is on a RDS2016 machine. Recently, they migrated from RDS2008 R2 to RDS2016. On the 2008 server, it worked fine (notifications were on) but our RDS2016 server this application is missing under Notifications.
Any idea how to fix this? We're kind of stuck here, software developer says it's propably something on the local server. Couldn't find anything about this issue.
Thanks in advance!]
