{
"location": "Global",
"tags": {},
"properties": {
"scopes": [
"/subscriptions/<Subscription_ID>"

"enabled": true,
"condition": {
"allOf": [
{

$ComplianceName = 'Delete MySQL Database'
$Signal = 'Microsoft.DBforMySQL/servers/databases/delete'
$Category = 'Administrative'
$ResourceGroupName = 'MyResourceGroup'
$actiongroup = (Get-AzActionGroup -Name corenotifications -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName)
$ActionGroupId = (New-Object Microsoft.Azure.Management.Monitor.Models.ActivityLogAlertActionGroup $ActionGroup.Id)
$Subscription = (Get-AzContext).Subscription
$location = 'Global'
$scope = "/subscriptions/$($Subscription.Id)"
$alertName = "$($Subscription.Name) - $($ComplianceName)"
$conditions = @(
New-AzActivityLogAlertCondition -Field 'category' -Equal $Category
New-AzActivityLogAlertCondition -Field 'operationName' -Equal $Signal

Set-AzActivityLogAlert -Location $location -Name $alertName -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Scope $scope -Action $ActionGroupId -Condition $conditions
