[Question/Feedback]: Exclude some resources from being monitored

Description

I have a customer requirement where several VMS are being deployed but not all VMs require Alerting. This normally is the case with Devops Runners that switch off regularly everyday at a certain period of time. Once this event happens a heartbeat alert will be fired which is not required on those VMs.
For more clarity, Consider the following example:

there are 3 Vms, 2 Vms require the alerting but the third Vm needs to be excluded.

I also looked into the Monitor Disable parameter in the Json however, this might have some limitation:

1. the parameter is targeting scopes meaning all VMs will be affected and in my case i only want some VMs to have alerting disabled.
2. In the Json itself, the Monitor Disabled isn't included within the VMs alerting

Hello @MohmadEh ,
thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, alerts cannot be disabled for a single instance or resource when targeted a bigger scopes like Subscription or resource group or LAW. What you could do in these cases is:

• filter the resource in the query (not possible in AMBA)
• add the resource Id of the given resource to a suppression alert processing rule

In the first case, you will not get any alert. In the latter, alert will appear in the but will not be notified.

Thanks,
Bruno.

Hello @MohmadEh ,
given your feedback through IM, I will close this one as well, since you can apply the same solution proposed for [Question/Feedback]: Monitor Disable Parameter #131.

Thanks,
Bruno.
