Azure Monitor Integration Module for Azure Automation

Turn Azure Monitor alerts into automated actions with Kelverion Runbook Studio and Azure Automation. Instead of writing custom PowerShell and manually building API calls, use low-code runbook design to detect alerts, trigger diagnostics, create service desk tickets and launch remediation workflows faster and more reliably.

Azure Monitor is Microsoft’s unified observability platform for collecting, analysing and acting on telemetry from cloud, hybrid and application environments. It brings together metrics, logs, traces and events so organisations can understand the health, performance and reliability of Azure resources, applications, infrastructure and connected services.

With Azure Monitor, IT and operations teams can detect issues early, investigate root causes, visualise performance trends and respond through alerting and automated actions. It is a central service for modern cloud operations, helping teams move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive monitoring and automated response.

Typical Automation Scenarios

• Alert-to-Ticket Automation
  Create an incident in your service desk when Azure Monitor generates an alert, including relevant alert details for triage
• Ticket-to-Alert Closure
  Close or update an Azure Monitor alert when the corresponding incident ticket is resolved
• Automated Diagnostics
  Trigger diagnostic runbooks when new or changed alerts are detected, collecting logs, resource state and supporting context
• Remediation Workflows
  Launch approved runbooks to restart services, scale resources, clear queues, notify teams or apply standard recovery actions
• Operational Enrichment
  Add contextual information from Azure resources, service desks or management tools before routing an alert to the correct resolver group
• Escalation and Notification
  Use alert severity, resource type or alert category to drive tailored escalation and communication workflows

Benefits at a Glance

• Accelerate Alert Response
  Automatically trigger runbooks when Azure Monitor alerts are created or changed, helping teams respond before issues become business-impacting incidents
• Reduce Custom Scripting
  Use ready-built, forms-driven activities instead of manually writing and maintaining PowerShell for Azure Monitor API interactions
• Improve Service Desk Integration
  Automate the creation, update and closure of incident tickets in connected service management platforms when Azure Monitor alerts change state
• Enable low-code Automation
  Let a wider group of IT operations and support staff design, maintain and understand automation through Runbook Studio’s graphical authoring experience
• Increase Consistency and Control
  Standardise how alerts are handled, escalated and remediated through repeatable runbook processes
• Connect Monitoring to Remediation
  Move beyond notification by launching diagnostic checks, enrichment steps and automated fixes from Azure Monitor alert events
