Azure alerts action group: Not sending to webhook? - azure

I have an Azure alerts action group set up which sends an email to myself and 5 colleagues. No problem at all, we all receive the email.
In the same action group I have created another action this time as a Webhook instead of Email/SMS. The webhook URL that I am providing is for a Microsoft Team's channel which has the "Incoming Webhook" connector configured.
When alerts fire and the action group is alerted, the webhook does not appear to be working. Unfortunately, given the restraints of Azure, I cannot actually see any errors or attempts when sending to the webhook.
Anybody else encountered this issue?

Someone else had an issue around this a few weeks ago, perhaps your issue is the same - please check Azure Monitor Alerts using webhook to Microsoft Teams - No messages to Teams

Microsoft Teams notification stops working intermittently

We have integrated MS Teams with Azure DevOps using below:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/integrations/microsoft-teams?view=azure-devops
Pipelines have been subscribed to send notifications on failure. However they stop working randomly. We are unable to identify where the problem is. Could someone guide me on how to troubleshoot the issue?
Here is a troubleshoot advice:
Please go to your Project Settings -> General/Service hooks and check the sevice hook to Microsoft Teams.
If you find that the notification was failed to send, it will usually provide an error message for further investigation.
If you find that it doesn't send notifications when the pipeline fails, it is recommended to check your connection settings. And identify the scope of the problem, such as whether this problem is related to a particular pipeline.
If you find that the notification has been successfully sent but the Microsoft Teams have not received it, you can further check if the intermittent problem is time related. For example, whether the problem can be repeated over a certain period of time and whether there is a significant delay between the successful notification sent time and the actual delivery time.

Send azure monitor alert to slack not working

I am sure this has been asked many times but am unable to find relevant answer. Is there any way to send Azure monitor alerts to slack via Logic apps or some other way. I have found this template - https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/demos/alert-to-slack-with-logic-app and integrated it into my azure system but it is not working.
Have tried some work around mentioned at - https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/issues/3319 but all in vain
Direct Webhook from action group using slack incoming webhook is not supported , as azure sends alert using its own schema.
Any input is highly appreciated ...
Azure Logic Apps is definitely an option, but if you are not needing complicated workflows, just send the alert directly from Azure Monitor to a Slack channel. You can do this by generating a unique email for the Slack channel and using that email in your Azure Monitor alert action group settings. Another option would be to send the alert to your company alert email inbox and have it automatically forwarded to that Slack channel email address. With this approach you completely remove the dependency and complexity of Azure Logic Apps.

Send email notification for inactive task or bugs----Azure Devops

How do you configure an Email Notification for an individual user in an organization for not responding in a timeframe?
Eg: An email notification gets sent if Initial Response was not met within say 6 hours of VSO being assigned.
In Azure DevOps project notification settings, it's possible to configure a notification based on the following actions taking place on a work item:
Notification settings based on a timeout, or lack of response, are not apparent.
Is it possible to configure a notification based on a lack of activity for a work item?
Currently there are below pre-defined notifications for work items in Azure Boards.
See: Manage your personal notifications for details.
I am afraid that no such notifications are designed for your requirement. However, as a workaround, we can create a query to find those work items which are not changed from New for a period when they have been assigned to members, as below.
Above query will query bugs and tasks which are assigned to members but still state in New state and they are created earlier than today across projects. See: Define a query for details.
And clicking "Email query" allows you to send this query result to specific members.

Azure DevOps Dashboard - Scheduling email notification with report contents

Could you please help with the process in Azure DevOps VSTS to automate monthly email notification to specific users to remind them of the updated Bug Reporting along with the bug report content and dashboard.
Thank you
automate monthly email notification to specific users to remind them of the updated Bug Reporting along with the bug report content and dashboard
For this issue, I am afraid that the built-in notification of azure devops does not support such a feature, notifications should only support event triggering and not scheduled triggering.
When an event occurs in Azure DevOps or TFS, its content is compared with every subscription of that event type. If the subscription's filter conditions are met by the event, a notification is generated. A notification is generated for every subscription/event match.
The content shown in the notification is designed and we cannot customize it.
Here are some official document you can refer to.

In addition, you could add your request for this feature on our UserVoice site , which is our main forum for product suggestions. After suggest raised, you can vote and add your comments for this feedback. The product team would provide the updates if they view it.

Azure Application Insights Webhook Payload for Alerts

In Azure Application Insights Alerts we have configured Webhooks to send Json Payload to ServiceNow (third party ticket generation app). Alerts are fired and we can view that on Azure Portal but is there anyway to know what was the PAYLOAD that was sent at that specific time when the Alert was fired. I can see the history of the Alerts fired but there is no view/information on what was the payload that was generated and sent thru webhook.
is it possible?
You can view the alert's payload by running a query against the Alerts Management REST API: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/monitor/alertsmanagement/alerts/getbyid
If you're using the common alerts schema, the payload you'll get is exactly the one that was sent through the webhook. Otherwise, some fields might appear under the 'essentials' section instead of under the 'context' section.
