This is uncanny. I started watching your backup videos from 2021 only yesterday, as I have to setup new Azure backups for a project. They were great but I was looking for more info on alerting, monitoring and reporting as it's a key project requirement, did some more searches but nothing really good came up. Talk about perfect timing when this just popped up in my notifications. Tailored tutorials, now that's service! 😃
Hey Richard, I'm glad this was useful and timely. You can also connect with us on our discord server at aka.ms/itopstalk-discord if you run into scenarios you need help with. Cheers!
Hello, Thanks for good content. I have one question regarding to test message. I would like to test alert send message when failed backup appeared, how to generate that test. I know that I can provide test to receiver in "Create an action group" and I checked it is working. But I would like to test conditions when the message is sent to user?
One quick way to generate a test alert would be to configure disk backup to a backup vault, and then trigger two adhoc backups simultaneously. one of them would fail with error 'multiple operations in progress" and generate an alert. note that above is referring to the disk backup solution specifically learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/disk-backup-overview (not the VM backup solution in RSV, since in VM backup, currently alerts are not generated for such scenarios as these are scenarios where backups are expected to fail and alerts are suppressed for this scenario of multiple operations in progress, in case of VM backup. In disk backup, that suppression behaviour has not been implemented as of today )

It is easy to make something hard, but hard to make something easy. A prime case here.
