# How to resolve Sprinto check for monitoring Azure Load Balancer health probe status
### About
Sprinto Check: Azure Load Balancer health probe status should be monitored
Azure Load Balancer enables high availability and network performance for applications. Monitoring the health probe status of your Azure Load Balancer is essential for ensuring reliable and efficient traffic distribution to backend resources.
### Purpose
The purpose of the Sprinto check for Azure Load Balancer health probe status is to monitor and alert on the status of health probes actively. This monitoring helps you:
* Reliable Traffic Distribution: Ensure that the Load Balancer distributes traffic only to healthy backend resources.
* Proactive Issue Detection: Receive alerts if the health probe status indicates potential issues with backend resources, allowing you to address them proactively.
* Performance Optimization: Optimize the overall performance by maintaining the health and availability of backend resources.
### How to Resolve
To address this check, follow these steps to create a monitoring alert for Azure Load Balancer health probe status:
#### Before you Begin
* Ensure you have "Admin" access to the Azure account to create monitoring alerts.
* Log in to Sprinto as an administrator.
#### Creating Monitoring Alert
1. Log in to the[ Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/) using your credentials.
2. Navigate to the Azure Load Balancer resource you want to monitor.
3. In the left-hand menu, under Monitoring, select Metrics.
4. Under Metrics option, keep the existing namespace for Load Balancer.
5. Select the metric name as Health Probe Status.
6. From the top side, click New Alert Rule.
7. On the Configuration Signal Logic drawer, set up conditions to trigger alerts based on health probe status.
8. From the Create Alert Rule window, on the Details tab, set an appropriate alert rule name.
9. Finally, click Review + Create to create the alert.
Once the alert is created, Sprinto retrieves the change and sets the assigned check status to "Passing."
