Learning bytes for monitoring high availability and configuring alerts in Azure Monitor. Summarized steps to create alerts: go to the Azure portal and select the PostgreSQL server; create an alert rule defining the relevant metric such as CPU or storage; set the threshold logic and condition; configure the desired action such as email or webhook; save the rule and validate in Azure Monitor in the Alerts section. This way you can receive proactive notifications about HA status and respond quickly to incidents.
