    Hi @Ankush Gurjar , there are multiple resources around with information on alerting for new Azure resources. Maybe these are helpful to get started:

    Create or edit a metric alert rule

    Activity log alerts

    Azure Activity Log event schema


    (If the reply was helpful please don't forget to upvote and/or accept as answer, thank you)

    Hello @Ankush Gurjar

    Yes, you can configure an alert in Azure at the subscription level to get notifications when a new resource is created.

    Here are the general steps:

    1. Scope: Select your subscription.
    2. Condition: Search for signal logic: Create Deployment (Microsoft.Resources/deployments). The condition preview should be: Whenever the Activity Log has an event with Category=‘Administrative’, Signal name='Create Deployment (deployments)'.
    3. Create an action group: You can specify the notification type (Email/SMS message/Push/Voice) and provide your email.

    This way, whenever a new resource is created, you will receive a notification. For more detailed instructions, you can refer to this documentation.

    Please note that you might need to stream the activities to log analytics first.

    Remember, the configuration might vary based on the specific resources you want to monitor. Always refer to the official Azure documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
