Azure SQL Alert Setup Guide

This document provides steps to set up alerts for Azure SQL databases using a PowerShell script. The script will create alerts on various database metrics like CPU usage, data IO, log writes, DTU consumption, deadlocks, storage usage, and sessions when the metrics exceed 90% for a period of 5-30 minutes. The script requires filling in subscription, server, resource group, and email details. It will then loop through each database and create the metric alerts, excluding the master database.

Azure SQL DB (PaaS)- Alerts setup

Prerequisites

Azure MFA admin account and access to Azure Portal


Azure RM PowerShell module installed
Azure DB server contributor rights

Steps

1- Open PowerShell ISE window


2- Login to Azure with AzureRM command: Connect-AzureRmAccount
3- Copy following script to PS ISE
4- Execute script
5- Check if alert has been created on all databases properly.

NOTE: Lookup SQL server in azure portal and Fill in following details to script in ISE

Subscription name to [subscription]


Server name to [SQL server name]
Resource group to [resource group
Group email (example@[Link]) to [group email address]
