AMBA Observability Bundle
Use Azure Monitor Baseline Alerts as the reference baseline for new Azure SRE Agent monitoring designs. Keep AMBA as a source-driven baseline rather than copying alert tables into prompts.
Design Rules
- Start with current AMBA service guidance for the Azure resource type.
- Classify alerts before creating response plans:
- investigate automatically
- notify only
- digest/report only
- candidate for later autonomy
- suppress or tune after evidence
- Map only alerts with a useful investigation path to SRE Agent response plans.
- Tune thresholds to workload SLOs, business criticality, and known customer baselines.
- For policy-deployed AMBA alerts, check assignment scope, effect, identity, compliance state, exclusions, overrides, and action-group routing.
- Default AMBA-triggered response plans to Review mode. Autonomous mode requires measured alert quality and safe, repeatable mitigation.
Useful Pairings
- Service Health and Resource Health: stakeholder impact assessment and subscription/service mapping.
- Activity Log delete/update alerts: change validation, blast-radius review, rollback recommendation, and KT DA/PPA for production impact.
- Metric alerts: resource-specific triage, correlation, scaling/remediation proposal, and threshold tuning feedback.
- Log-search alerts: fleet investigation, KQL summarisation, recurring pattern detection, and knowledge capture.
