Setting Up Alert for AKS Pod Restarts Using Log Analytics Workspace and Grafana

 Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS)  pod restarts can be obtained from the KubePodInventory of the connected log analytics workspace. This data can be depicted in a graph in grafana as described in the post "Pod Restart Counts Grafana Chart with Azure Monitor for AKS". Let's explore how to use same information to create an alert using Grafana to notify when pod restarts are happening in apps in a given kubernetes namespace. 

The expectation is to fire alerts from Grafana as shwon below. Note that the alerts can target to send emails, slack notficaition etc. which is not discussed in this post.

Multiple KEDA Triggers for a Scaled Job with Event Hubs in AKS

 Kubernetes scaled job helps us running one job per event/message we recive from the queue/even hub. We can have an event handler job which can handle more than one type of event messages or  queue messages. Let's look at what we need to consider when we are defining more than one trigger, with kubernetes event drivern autoscaler (KEDA) for a scaled job.
