**⭐️** **Monitor Azure SQL databases with Azure Alerts**
🙂 **Torsten Strauss**
The session will provide a comprehensive guide on setting up Azure alerts for SQL databases using a Bicep template. This automation aims to streamline the monitoring process by creating a bug in your Azure DevOps board through a logic app when critical metrics, such as DTU or CPU utilization, exceed predefined thresholds. By focusing on constructing a versatile and adaptable Bicep template, the session will equip participants with the tools to efficiently oversee their Azure SQL environments, ensuring robust performance and reliability.
