How to monitor windows services
HIi Rahul_Mahajan you cannot achieve fully the scenario of closing the alert once the service is up. You can only achieve to get alert once the service is down. I have blogged about this here:
https://cloudadministrator.net/2018/01/24/monitoring-windows-services-sates-with-log-analytics/
The method described there is by using the System event log but the same thing can be achieved with using Change Tracking solution which also tracks Windows Services states. In our book Inside Azure Management we have descried the scenario with using Change tracking as well. The example in the scenario also includes automatic service remediation by starting the service on the VM via runbook. This is described in the Automation chapter.
Rahul_Mahajan It is best to open new threads for new issues/questions. That way other folks will find information easier. Azure SQL has diagnostic logs and metrics which can be send to Log Analytics and you can create alerts based on them. Even without sending metrics to Log Analytics you can create metric alerts (those are per resource).
When I am trying to change - change tracking frequency to 10 seconds its not working. it says task completed successfully but again it revert back to 30 seconds.
Can someone confirm which level of access is required to do this task and also how to easily identify in future which level of access is required for other tasks in Azure monitoring and Update management.
Rahul_Mahajan To change that setting you need contributor access on the Log Analytics workspace.
