What is the Azure Monitor Integration?

The Azure Monitor integration allows webhooks to be sent from Azure Monitor to Halo and subsequently turned into tickets. Furthermore, field mappings can be configured and if the alert is resolved, it will automatically close the ticket in Halo.


Connecting to Azure Monitor

First, you must enable this integration in Configuration > Integrations > Asset Management and Alerting. Hover over the icon and click the plus - it is enabled when the colour is not greyed out.


The first tab is for "Azure Monitor Setup". Here you will see the URL required for the webhook, as well as the option for authentication. If "Secure Webhook" is selected as the "Action Type", additional fields for the tenant and application ID will show to provide that webhook authentication.


Note: The tenant used to authenticate must be a single-tenanted application.

Defaults and Mappings

The configuration page contains some basic setup for you to decide what happens to tickets create from an Alert.

You can then choose any field mappings you would like. These will map information from the alert to custom fields in Halo.

Creating the Webhook

The last thing you will have to do, is use the URL found at the top of the config page as the webhook URL when you configure your Azure Monitor Alert Action.

Note: You must enable the common alert schema otherwise the webhook will not be processed by Halo.
