AMBA provides predefined alert configurations for Azure resources, helping to monitor health, performance, and security by setting thresholds on critical metrics.

AMBA and Azure Policies are complementary. While policies enforce governance and compliance, AMBA ensures operational health by setting up alerts.

You can enforce AMBA baselines through Azure Policy to ensure alerts are consistently applied across resources for compliance and operational governance.

AMBA is primarily about enabling different alerts for resource monitoring.

The alerts in AMBA are based on metrics and diagnostic data collected from Azure Monitor.

AMBA covers:

• Virtual Networks
• Application Gateways
• Load Balancers
• VPN Gateways
• Network Interfaces

Monitoring traffic patterns, availability, latency, and connection health.

AMBA covers PaaS services like:

• Azure App Service
• Azure SQL Database
• Azure Cosmos DB
• Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
• Azure Storage

For Azure Virtual WAN, AMBA monitors:

• VPN Gateway Connection Health
• ExpressRoute Circuit availability
• Latency and hub health

• VPN Gateway Connection Health Alert: Detects lost or unstable VPN connections.
• ExpressRoute Circuit Down Alert: Tracks circuit outages or degradation.
• Latency in Hub Connections: Monitors high latency across WAN hubs.

To best navigate and find alerts in Azure:

1. **Azure Portal**: Go to the Azure Monitor service.
2. **Alerts**: Select "Alerts" under the Monitor section to see all alert rules.
3. **Filter and Search**: Use filters like resource type, severity, or signal type to find specific alerts.
4. **Create Alerts**: Define new alert conditions based on metrics, logs, or activity.
5. **Action Groups**: Configure notifications or automated actions linked to alerts.
