What CGPulse checks

A resource passes this rule when enabled must equal true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.

How to fix it

Enable the metric alert to actively monitor resource health and performance. In Azure Portal: Monitor > Alerts > select alert rule > enable. See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-overview

CLI

az monitor metrics alert update --ids "{id}" --enabled true

Terraform

resource "azurerm_monitor_metric_alert" "{name}" {
  name                = "{name}"
  resource_group_name = "{rg}"
  scopes              = ["<resource-id>"]
  enabled             = true
  criteria {
    metric_namespace = "<namespace>"
    metric_name      = "<metric>"
    aggregation      = "Average"
    operator         = "GreaterThan"
    threshold        = 90
  }
}
