        Hi [Sudhakar Devaraj](https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/users/na/?userid=63832301-8be9-42da-8448-0a63ed30614c)
    
        Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
    

    You can follow the below steps to configure the email notification alert when blob storage reaches a particular GB

    1. Navigate to Azure Portal → Storage Account → Metrics.
    2. Click “New Alert Rule”.
    3. Select the metric:
      • For capacity monitoring, choose UsedCapacity or BlobCapacity.
    4. Set the condition:
      • Example: UsedCapacity >= <threshold in GB>.
    5. Define the threshold value (e.g., 500 GB).
    6. Go to “Details” tab: Enter a name for the alert.
    7. Go to “Actions” tab:
      • Create or select an Action Group that includes Email Notification.
    8. Review + Create the alert rule
