Create Metric Alert Rule in Azure

Hi there 👋😁,Today, I was working on my Logic App workflow and noticed something frustrating — my workflows were inconsistently succeeding and failing. To keep track of this, I headed over to Log Analytics to monitor the workflow, but I quickly realized that manually running queries every time was becoming a hassle.

So, I decided to set up a failure alert for my workflow. This way, I no longer need to constantly monitor the status. Instead, whenever a failure occurs, I’ll receive an email alert, ensuring I’m always informed without the extra effort. Let’s see how to create an alert.
