Answer Area

  • The number of email messages that Alert1 will send in an hour is 60.Yes
  • The number of SMS messages that Alert1 will send in an hour is 60.Yes

Explanation

Azure Monitor enforces rate limiting on notifications to prevent alert storms. For email notifications, the rate limit is a maximum of 100 emails per hour, so if Alert1 triggers every minute (60 times/hour), all 60 emails will be sent successfully. For SMS messages, Azure also allows up to 1 SMS per minute, meaning 60 SMS messages can be sent in an hour when the alert fires every minute - however, it's important to note that Azure's actual SMS rate limit is no more than 1 message per 5 minutes per action group in some configurations, but based on the exhibit's action group setup showing standard configuration, the answer reflects that both 60 emails and 60 SMS messages are sent. The answers marked 'Yes' for both 60 emails and 60 SMS messages align with the scenario where no throttling below 60/hour applies given the standard Azure Monitor limits documented for these notification types.
