Introduction
Microsoft announced Microsoft Entra health alerts, a new feature designed to detect potential degradations in tenant health. This feature leverages existing health metrics data streams to improve your tenant’s observability.
Why Microsoft Entra health alerts ?
Microsoft Entra health alerts are designed to help administrators effectively monitor and manage the health of their tenants. By detecting anomalies and providing real-time alerts, this feature enables organizations to take preventative measures to avoid service disruptions and maintain high availability.
Health alert features
Anomaly Detection
Health alerts are based on an anomaly detection system that establishes baseline patterns and monitors for deviations within your tenant. Alerts are triggered based on your organization’s typical authentication patterns and can measure the impact within your specific tenant.
Microsoft Entra Admin Center integration
Health alerts are integrated into the health pane of the Microsoft Entra Admin Center. This integration allows administrators to view all active alerts and filter monitored scenarios to focus on relevant alerts.
Example alerts
An example alert might be a spike in multi-factor login (MFA) failures. Administrators can see an alert signal caused by an increase in MFA login failures, allowing them to take corrective action quickly.
Terms of use
To use Microsoft Entra health alerts, the tenant must have a Microsoft Entra Premium license with a minimum of 100 monthly active users.
Benefits of health alerts
- Proactive monitoring : Alerts enable proactive monitoring of tenant health, helping to prevent service interruptions.
- Increased responsiveness : Administrators receive real-time information about potential degradations, allowing them to respond quickly.
- Improved resilience : By detecting and addressing issues before they become critical, health alerts help improve overall system resilience.
