We have spread our resources across multiple resource groups and subscriptions. It is a mess trying to keep track of what is healthy and what is failing. What tools are available in the Azure ecosystem to get a 'single pane of glass' view of our infrastructure health? I need alerts that actually matter, not just noise.
Azure Monitor, when combined with centralized Log Analytics workspaces and Azure Lighthouse, enables comprehensive multi-subscription visibility and health monitoring.

I recall managing a multi-tenant environment where the lack of cross-subscription visibility caused a critical security oversight because simple health alerts were siloed in individual resource groups. We corrected this by shifting our entire governance posture toward a hub-and-spoke model using Azure Lighthouse to project subscription data into a central management tenant.
By consolidating our logs into a single Log Analytics workspace, we managed to correlate infrastructure health with security events effectively. Once you centralize your telemetry data, you can build meaningful workbooks that display status across the entire estate, rather than fighting individual fires across dozens of portals.
You should implement Azure Monitor alongside Azure Resource Graph to establish a centralized view across your subscriptions. This approach leverages Kusto Query Language to aggregate health signals from disparate resource groups into a singular dashboard, effectively filtering out the telemetry noise you are experiencing.
