Description

Hi Gents,

I am looking to utilize the monitoring capabilities of AMBA together with the naming convention we have in place.
For that, the action group ID cannot start with "ag-amba-SH-".

Therefore, I have replaced the following:

Two occurrences in deploy_activitylog_resourcehealth_unhealthy_alert.jsonc, replaced "ag-AMBA-SH-" with our naming standard (azinf-monitoringamba-ag-) and removed the -001 in the end as I do not find it meaningful to have

Two occurrences in deploy_activitylog_servicehealth_healthadvisory.jsonc, same changes and reasoning as above

Two occurrences in deploy_activitylog_servicehealth_incident.jsonc, same changes and reasoning as above

Two occurrences in deploy_activitylog_servicehealth_maintenance.jsonc, same changes and reasoning as above

Two occurrences in deploy_activitylog_servicehealth_securityadvisory.jsonc, same changes and reasoning as above

One occurrence in deploy_servicehealth_actiongroups.jsonc, same changes and reasoning as above

Three occurrences in deploy_alertprocessing_rule.jsonc. replaced "ag-AMBA-" with our naming standard (azinf-monitoringamba-ag-) and removed the -001 in the end as I do not find it meaningful to have. Note that I didn¨t distinguish between "ag-AMBA-SH-" and "ag-AMBA-". I also did NOT do anything to "variables('varAGIds')", so this one differentiates itself from the other files

Next to that, I also replaced "apr-AMBA" like:

One occurrence in deploy_alertprocessing_rule.jsonc, replaced "apr-AMBA" with our naming standard (azinf-monitoringamba-apr-) and removed the -001 in the end as I do not find it meaningful to have

One occurrence in deploy_suppression_alertprocessing_rule.jsonc, replaced "apr-AMBA" with our naming standard (azinf-monitoringamba-apr-) and removed the -002 in the end as I do not find it meaningful to have, which means the above and this action group will become the same instead of having a suffix of -001 and -002 respectively

So far, I think I am on the right path (but please advise me if I am not).

Now, I am also trying to understand what this "SH-ActGrp" is all about in deploy_servicehealth_actiongroups.jsonc
It seems it deploys yet another action group if we haven´t inserted any value to BYOActionGroup (which we have not).
What is the purpose of this and can I define it in some other way to meet the naming convention requirement listed above?

Are there any remaining places that I¨ve missed to alter and should be configured in some way? Am I doing this all wrong or can I achieve the likes of having our own naming convention is some other/easier way?

Hello @arrerezai ,
thanks for your question. You are right. those are all the places where you need to change the values. As far as the "SH-ActGrp" goes, it is an action group used specifically by Service Health alerts. We decoupled the Service Health notification assets from the "all alerts" notification assets to add flexibility during the deployment.

Thanks,
Bruno.
