Description

Security Center alerts ensure that the appropriate individuals in an organization are notified via email when issues occur, speeding up time to remediation. Subscription owners should receive these alerts so they can triage and remediate issues appropriately.

How to fix?

Set the alertNotifications and alertsToAdmins attributes to On.

Example Configuration

{
    "$schema": "http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
    "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
    "parameters": {},
    "variables": {},
    "resources": [
        {
            "type": "Microsoft.Security/securityContacts",
            "apiVersion": "2017-08-01-preview",
            "name": "contact-allowed",
            "location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
            "properties": {
                "email": "contact@example.com",
                "alertNotifications": "On",
                "alertsToAdmins": "On"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Set the alert_notifications and alerts_to_admins attributes to true.

Example Configuration

resource "azurerm_security_center_contact" "allowed" {
  name  = "contact"
  email = "contact@example.com"
  phone = "+1-555-555-5555"

  alert_notifications = true
  alerts_to_admins    = true
}
