Viewing resource health information with Azure resource health


Resource health history is another Azure feature that can help you save time on issue diagnosis by providing up to 14 days of historical health information for an Azure resource. Resource health keeps an eye on your Azure resources, a Stream Analytics job in our case, to ensure that everything is working as expected and provides information on any Azure service issues leading to downtime of your Azure resources. The following are different types of health statuses reported by resource health:
