Unable to change Azure ALERT state


I set up an Alert on an Azure storage account for Average storage consumption. In order to test it, I set the threshold consumption to 2TiB (my storage has 4 TiB data). As expected, the alert was fired meaning the setup was correct. Note: While setting up the alert I had selected the option Automatically resolve alerts.

Issue:-

Now I have increased this threshold to a much higher value it should actually be. However, the "state" of the alert already fired while testing is still present. When I try to manually change it (set it to Closed or Acknowledged), it fails. I've tried deleting the Alert altogether and re-creating it but even that did not help either. Alert State

Solution

  • The issue resolved itself over time. Seems it was one of those cases where Azure takes way too much time to update its state. I checked after about 24 hrs.
