This article demonstrates how to configure activity log alerts for notifications of service health with a few clicks using the Azure Mobile App. When there is an issue affecting your Azure subscription, you can easily set these as a push notification which can be easily seen on your mobile phone.

In simple terms, Azure Service Health helps users to be informed about the subscription and take action with alerts that may affect them in the future. With this feature, you can configure alerts to:
- Class of Service Health Notification
- Affected Subscriptions
