What are Monitor Alerts?

Monitor alerts allow tenant and environment administrators to proactively monitor the operational health of their Power Platform resources and receive notifications when health metrics fall below thresholds they define. Instead of learning about problems from end users, admins can identify and address issues before they cause disruption. This reduces downtime and improves reliability across the organization.

What’s New with GA

Predefined alerts — protection with zero configuration

The biggest addition we’ve added is predefined alerts: a set of configured, Microsoft-authored alerts that are enabled by default for every tenant. These alerts automatically surface high-use canvas apps, model-driven apps, agents, desktop flows and cloud flows whose health has dropped below recommended baseline thresholds — with no setup required.

For example, predefined alerts will flag when:

• The availability of high-use canvas apps drops below 90%
• The availability of high-use model-driven apps drops below 90%
• High-use cloud flows are experiencing success rate degradation

Predefined alerts give admins an immediate signal on what matters most in their tenant, even before they’ve configured a single custom alert rule. Items can trigger these alerts regardless if they’re in a managed environment, and predefined alerts will encourage users to create their own alert rules to monitor these items against their own custom thresholds.

Redesigned Monitor overview page

We redesigned the Monitor overview page to be alerts-centric. When you land in Monitor, you now get an at-a-glance view of active alert conditions and resource health across your environments — making it faster to identify what needs attention and act on it.

Code app alerts

Custom alert rules now support alerting on your code apps in addition to canvas and model-driven apps. This gives admins deeper visibility into code app performance and the ability to catch performance degradation before it affects users’ day-to-day experience.

Work queue alerts (public preview)

Admins can now configure alerts for Power Automate work queues in Monitor, enabling proactive monitoring of work queue health alongside apps, flows and agents. This capability is launching in public preview alongside alerts GA.

How Monitor Alerts Work

Admins define threshold-based rules on Monitor metrics. For example, this can look like receiving an alert when a cloud flow’s success rate drops below a custom threshold, or when a canvas app’s availability falls below an acceptable level.

Monitor alerts evaluate alert rules daily after aggregating new metric data for your environments. When a metric breaches a threshold, admins receive an email notification with a direct link to the details that triggered the alert.

You can scope alert rules to an environment or individual item, configure multiple recipients per rule (including security groups), and manage all active rules and review triggered alert history from the Alert Rules view in Monitor.

What’s Supported

We’re excited for you to improve the operational health of your apps, agents and automations in Power Platform. Learn more about Monitor and how to create alerts here.

Watch how easy it is to create an alert, catch a threshold breach, and take guided action—without living on dashboards.

Why Monitor Alerts Matters

When incidents hit, every hour counts. Historically, admins had to log into Monitor and scan metrics to catch issues on daily/weekly basis. Monitor Alerts changes that by letting you define what “healthy” means and notifying you daily when reality drifts below that bar.

Benefits include:

• Fewer surprises: Alerts only when conditions you care about are met.
• Faster response: Go straight from alert to action.
• Focus on fixes, not hunting for issues.

Where It Lives

Monitor Alerts are available in the following context:

• Audience: Tenant administrators and environment administrators
• Surface: Monitor in the Power Platform admin center
• Availability: Public preview
• Setup: None required—start using it immediately

Monitor already provides operational health metrics and actionable recommendations. Alerts add an early-warning layer so you can react before issues escalate.

What You Can Alert On

Monitor Alerts currently supports:

• Canvas apps
• Model-driven apps
• Cloud flows
• Desktop flows

Examples include:

• App load times exceeding thresholds
• Spikes in flow failures in critical environments
• Degradation in availability for executive-facing apps
• Error spikes in desktop flows

Quickstart (No Configuration Needed)

1. Open Power Platform admin center
2. Navigate to Monitor > Alerts
3. Create an alert: pick environment and resource type
4. Define condition: choose metric, set threshold, specify evaluation window
5. Add recipients (DL or named admins)
6. Save & test
7. Tune thresholds to balance sensitivity and noise

Best Practices

• Align thresholds to SLAs: Start with business expectations.
• Alert on trends, not blips: Use sustained windows to avoid alert fatigue.
• Route smartly: Send to on-call DL; add context in alert description.
• Pair with recommendations: Use Monitor’s insights to accelerate root cause analysis.
• Review regularly: Adjust thresholds as usage grows.

Power Platform Monitor enables operational insights for administrators across environments

Power Apps Monitor empowers makers with operational insights into the apps that they own or co-author

Monitor is available in the Power Platform admin center and in Power Apps at make.powerapps.com. This is a must-have business tool that will empower makers and administrators with deeper visibility into the operational health of their business-critical apps and automations.

Visibility that scales with your role

Monitor is designed to meet the needs of makers, Center of Excellence teams, Operations teams, and administrators. Makers can now access performance and health insights for the apps they own or co-author directly in make.powerapps.com. Additionally, people with administrative and governance responsibilities can use Monitor in the Power Platform admin center to monitor resources, enabling cross-tenant oversight.

This dual-surface approach ensures that everyone, from individual app builders to Center of Excellence teams, can identify issues faster, understand root causes, and take informed action.

What’s included

Monitor supports operational health metrics and recommendations for:

• Canvas apps – available in both Power Apps and Power Platform Monitor
• Model-driven apps – available in both surfaces
• Cloud flows – available in Power Platform Monitor
• Desktop flows – available in Power Platform Monitor

These insights go beyond raw telemetry. Monitor surfaces contextual recommendations, such as optimizing Power FX code to improve load time in canvas apps or identifying bottlenecks in flow execution, so you can improve performance and reliability without guesswork. We’re also excited to introduce configurable alerts, coming soon! These alerts will proactively monitor the health of your resources and notify you when the performance dips, so you can take action before issues escalate.

Built for action, not just observation

Monitor isn’t just about dashboards, it’s about driving outcomes. With this release, you can:

• Identify underperforming resources
• Understand the impact of issues on users and business processes
• Take guided steps to resolve problems before they escalate

And because Monitor is integrated into the tools you already use, there’s no need to switch contexts or learn a new interface.

Available now & no setup required

Monitor is now generally available and enabled by default. No configuration is needed to get started. Simply head to:

• Power Platform admin center to monitor across environments
• Power Apps to monitor your own apps
