Create alerts in Azure when Indexer fails in Azure Search

Question

I have multiple indexers which are indexing my index in a Azure Search. Sometime the indexers have failed due to various issues in the Source. I need to create alerts so that my operation team can act on the failures immediately. I tried creating alerts in the Azure Search, however I am not getting a proper Signal in "Configure Signal Logic" pane.

I need some guidance as to how to create alerts when indexers fail in Azure Search.

You should be able to add diagnostic logging for your indexing activities, and then use Azure Monitor. This doc article should be a good starting point: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-monitor-usage
