Hi Glenn Maxwell,
We appreciate your engagement with us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.
To efficiently manage your budget for Azure Log Analytics workspaces, follow these steps to configure usage alerts and implement measures to halt further usage once your budget thresholds are met.
- Start by navigating to the Azure portal and accessing the Cost Management + Billing section. Under Cost Management, select Budgets and click + Add to create a new budget.
- Choose the appropriate subscription, set the budget time to monthly, and specify your budget limit as 2000 USD. Proceed by clicking Next to configure alerts.
- On the budget creation page, you can establish alerts to notify you when you're spending reaches certain thresholds. Create an alert for when 50% of your budget is used (1000 USD) by adding a budget alert condition.
- Set the threshold to 50% and add your email or other preferred notification channels to receive alerts. Similarly, create another alert for when the budget reaches 100% (2000 USD).
- Finally, click Create to complete the budget setup and enable the alerts. This will help you monitor your expenses and ensure you stay within your budget.
