QuestionQ58

Monitor and troubleshoot Windows Server environments

You have an Azure subscription that contains 40 virtual machines running Windows Server in a resource group named RG1.

The virtual machines restart each Sunday from 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM for maintenance. These restarts trigger metric alert rules that send email and SMS notifications.

You need to stop notifications during the maintenance window without modifying the alert rule conditions. The solution must apply to every alert from RG1 and permit notifications outside the maintenance window.

What should you configure?

Explanation

An Azure Monitor alert processing rule can be scoped to RG1 and configured with a recurring weekly schedule to suppress notifications during the maintenance window. It suppresses the action groups that send email and SMS while leaving the existing metric alert conditions unchanged; alerts outside the scheduled window continue to notify.
