Azure Health Availability Status

Host Template: Cloud - Azure - Health Availability Status

This host template is one of 31 developed by Opsview to provide the most comprehensive Azure monitoring in the industry.

Azure Health Availability Status allows you to monitor the health statuses of your Azure resources, allowing you to easily view the status of your resources.

This Host Template allows you to monitor the status of your Azure resources. For a full list of supported resources, see: Resource types and health checks in Azure resource health

This Host Template includes the following Service Checks:
