HOTSPOT - You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure Storage account named storage1 and the users shown in the following table. You plan to monitor storage1 and to configure email notifications for the signals shown in the following table. You need to identify the minimum number of alert rules and action groups required for the planned monitoring. How many alert rules and action groups should you identify? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. Hot Area:

An Azure alert rule is created for a specific signal on a defined scope. Since there are four

distinct signals to be monitored (Ingress, Egress, Delete storage account, Restore blob

ranges), a minimum of four separate alert rules are required.

An action group is a reusable collection of notification p

and actions. To

determine the minimum number of action groups, we identify the unique sets of users to be

notified:

1. User1 and User3

2. User1 only

3. User1, User2, and User3

These three distinct notification requirements necessitate a minimum of three action

groups. The action group configured to notify User1 and User3 can be reused for both the

"Ingress" and "Restore blob ranges" alert rules.

1. Microsoft Learn, Alert rules in Azure Monitor: This document states, "An alert rule

monitors your telemetry and captures a signal... The rule combines the resources to

be monitored, the signal or telemetry from the resource, and conditions." This

confirms that each unique signal requires its own rule.

2. Microsoft Learn, Action groups: This documentation explains, "An action group is

a collection of notification preferences... You can use an action group with more than

one alert rule; this allows you to use the same notification methods whenever those

alerts are triggered." This supports the principle of creating reusable action groups

for unique sets of recipients.
