SCENARIO

The billing VM remained at full CPU over the weekend. Its alert fired, but nobody was paged. The on-call policy pages for severity 2 or higher urgency and ignores the two-minute CPU spikes from nightly backups. Notifications use action group /subscriptions/8f2a1c40-5b77-4e19-9c3d-2a6b7e10d554/resourceGroups/rg-ops/providers/Microsoft.Insights/actionGroups/ag-oncall-billing.

TASK

Repair alert-rule.json so sustained CPU incidents reach the supplied on-call action group while brief backup spikes do not page anyone.

  • Keep the rule enabled and preserve the supplied VM scope, CPU metric, Average aggregation, and GreaterThan comparison.
  • Use supported alert durations with continuous evaluation coverage.
