Azure Monitor issues (preview)

An issue helps your team manage and resolve operational problems by bringing together all relevant observability data into a single, structured workflow. It organizes the troubleshooting process, emphasizes the most important signals, and enables more focused investigation and action.

Issues combine AI-powered investigations from the Azure Copilot observability agent, correlated alerts, and enriched observability data to ensure clarity and alignment throughout the resolution process.

Create issues

Create an issue when you want to persist the results of an investigation. Each issue is saved under an Azure Monitor Workspace (AMW).

You need the Contributor, Monitoring Contributor, or Issue Contributor role on the Azure Monitor Workspace to create an issue. For more information about role management, see Assign Azure roles using the Azure portal.

View issues

You can view a list of issues in the following locations:

• Azure Monitor — Shows issues across all Azure Monitor Workspaces (AMWs) under the selected subscriptions.
• Azure Monitor Workspace — Shows issues that are stored within a specific AMW.

Azure Monitor Workspace as an issue container

Azure Monitor Workspaces (AMWs) act as containers for issues.

You can configure an AMW as the default container for all issues in a subscription. When you set a default AMW, the investigation process saves issues in the same workspace when alerts fire on resources in that subscription. Saving them in the same workspace helps ensure that all related issues are stored and managed in a consistent location.
