Review and act on alerts

To help you stay aware of potential risks and act proactively, alerts are generated when policy thresholds are exceeded.

These alerts are informational and require your review and action when necessary.

When an alert is triggered:

1. It will appear in the Risk Center’s Overview page.
2. Notification recipients will receive an email with full alert details.
   

Alerts do not automatically enforce or fix issues.

You are responsible for reviewing the alert and determining any required follow-up action (for example adjusting budgets or handling a subscription change).

See Create and manage alert policies on how to create Risk Center alert policies to monitor Azure consumption and subscription operations.
