Answer Area

  • If you create a resource group in Sub1 on August 11, 2022, Alert1 is listed in the Azure portal.Yes
  • If you create a resource group in Sub1 on August 12, 2022, an email message is sent to [email protected].No
  • If you add a tag to RG1 on August 15, 2022, an email message is sent to [email protected].Yes

Explanation

Alert processing rules suppress action executions (like sending emails) during their active window, but do not stop alerts from being generated and listed in the Azure portal.

Approach. 1) Select 'Yes' for the first statement. Creating a resource group is an administrative operation, which triggers Alert1. While the alert processing rule suppresses notifications on August 11, the alert itself is still generated and visible in the Azure portal. 2) Select 'No' for the second statement. August 12 falls within the suppression window (August 10 to 13), so the alert processing rule prevents the action group from sending an email. 3) Select 'Yes' for the third statement. Adding a tag is an administrative operation. Since August 15 is outside the suppression window, the action group will trigger normally and the email action will be executed.

Common mistakes.

  • common_mistake. A common mistake is believing that suppressing notifications also prevents the alert from being generated (which would incorrectly make Statement 1 'No'), or failing to accurately compare the given dates against the suppression schedule.
