Power Platform Monitor Alerts GA: What’s New

Introduction

Microsoft has officially moved Power Platform Monitor alerts to general availability, making proactive health monitoring easier for administrators managing apps, flows, agents, and automations. For IT teams responsible for production reliability, this matters because it reduces the need to wait for user-reported incidents before taking action.

What’s new in GA

Predefined alerts enabled by default

The biggest GA enhancement is predefined alerts. These Microsoft-authored alerts are automatically enabled for every tenant, giving admins immediate visibility without needing to configure custom rules first.

Examples include alerts when:

• High-use canvas app availability drops below 90%
• High-use model-driven app availability drops below 90%
• High-use cloud flow success rates degrade

These alerts can trigger even if resources are not in a managed environment, helping admins identify high-impact issues across the tenant more quickly.

Redesigned Monitor overview page

Microsoft also redesigned the Monitor overview page to make it more alerts-centric. Admins now get an at-a-glance view of active alert conditions and resource health across environments, making it faster to spot problems and investigate them.

Code app alert support

Custom alert rules now support code apps in addition to canvas and model-driven apps. This expands monitoring coverage and gives administrators earlier visibility into application performance degradation.

Work queue alerts in public preview

Alongside GA, Microsoft introduced Power Automate work queue alerts in public preview. This lets admins proactively monitor work queue health together with apps, flows, and agents.

How Monitor alerts work

Monitor alerts are based on threshold rules that admins define for supported metrics. After Microsoft aggregates environment metric data, alert rules are evaluated daily. If a threshold is breached, recipients receive an email notification with a direct link to the related details.

Admins can:

• Scope rules to an environment or a specific item
• Add multiple recipients, including security groups
• Review active rules and alert history from the Alert Rules view

Why this matters for admins

For Power Platform administrators, the GA release improves operational monitoring with less manual setup. Predefined alerts provide immediate baseline protection, while custom rules allow teams to tune monitoring for business-critical apps and automations.

This should help organizations:

• Reduce downtime
• Detect reliability issues sooner
• Improve visibility into production health
• Standardize alerting across environments

Next steps

Admins should review the new predefined alerts in their tenant, validate notification recipients, and create custom alert rules for critical apps, flows, and agents. If your organization relies on Power Automate work queues, it may also be worth testing the new preview alerting capability.
