Question

Your company's finance team wants to be automatically notified when spending against the Production subscription reaches 80% of the monthly forecast, and they also want an automated webhook to trigger a Logic App that posts a message to Microsoft Teams. You need to configure this in Cost Management using the least administrative effort. Which approach should you take?

Accepted Answer

Create a budget scoped to the subscription with an alert condition at 80% of forecasted cost, and attach an action group that includes email recipients and a webhook to the Logic App.

Answer

Create an Azure Monitor metric alert on the subscription's cost metric with a threshold of 80% and link it to an action group.

Answer

Enable Azure Advisor cost recommendations and configure a weekly digest email to the finance team.

Apply a read-only resource lock at the subscription level once spending reaches 80% to prevent further resource creation.
