Hi, I am searching for a way to be alerted when a NSG change be done, do you have any idea to follow? thank you for your help!

You can accomplish this by creating an alert from the activity log. By default it only keeps 90 days. You can extend that by pushing them into a storage account. See the attached pictures below. You will navigate to the Network Security Group within the portal go to the activity log and select the activity. From there you can create the alert you are looking for and send it to the appropriate action group.

Hi Bryan! after a while it is working, as a tip you need to wait hours not minutes for the alerting rule working, I did the configuration several times and was thinking did not work, until stop and wait. Thank you for your help!
