Which tool is used to push Azure service health alerts to Microsoft System Center Service Manager?

  1. Azure Notification Hubs

  2. Azure Event Hubs

  3. IT Service Management Connector (ITSM)

  4. Application Insights Connector

The correct answer is: IT Service Management Connector (ITSM)

The IT Service Management Connector (ITSM) plays a crucial role in integrating Azure services with IT service management solutions like Microsoft System Center Service Manager. By utilizing the ITSM Connector, organizations can automatically push Azure service health alerts directly into their ITSM systems. This integration ensures that service incidents, outages, or maintenance notifications from Azure are captured and managed within the familiar framework of an organization's service management processes, allowing for streamlined incident response and resolution. This integration helps maintain operational continuity by ensuring that IT teams can quickly access and act upon critical Azure health information without needing to monitor Azure dashboards manually. The ITSM Connector is designed to bridge alerts from Azure, making it efficient for service managers to keep track of issues affecting their services. In contrast, Azure Notification Hubs is used primarily for sending push notifications to mobile applications, Azure Event Hubs is meant for large-scale data streaming, and Application Insights Connector is focused on telemetry and monitoring application performance rather than handling service health alerts. Each of these tools serves different purposes within the Azure ecosystem and does not facilitate the specific requirement of distributing service health alerts to an ITSM system.
