+# Tutorials: Monitor alerts and metrics for your business continuity estate (preview)
+
+
+This tutorial describes how Azure Business Continuity Center (preview) allows you to view alerts across Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery, configure notifications, view metrics, and take appropriate action. 
+
+## Monitor alerts
+
+Azure Business Continuity Center allows you to monitor alerts that are raised for your critical events in your backup and disaster recovery events. You can view any built-in alerts that were fired by solutions, such as Azure Backup or Azure Site Recovery, and alerts fired based on custom alert rules on metrics.
+
+Follow these steps:
+
+1. In **Azure Business Continuity Center**, select **Alerts view**. 
+
+   The count of all alert rules appears that have at least one or more fired alerts in the selected time range.
+
+2. Filter the list by *severity of alert*, *category of alert*, *time range* (up to last 15 days), and other parameters.
+
+3. The *Impacted Items count* in the grid shows the number of resources on which an alert corresponding to that alert rule was fired. To view the impacted items, select **View impacted items** in the context menu to view all alerts that were triggered due to that alert rule.
+
+   You can then review each alert and take appropriate action. 
+
+## Configure notifications
+
+To route alerts to the notification channels, create an alert processing rule and an action group. An alert processing rule is a rule that specifies which alerts should be routed to a particular notification channel, and the action group represents the notification channel.
+
+>[!Note]
+>Any action group supported by Azure Monitor (for example, email, webhooks, functions, logic apps, etc.) are supported for the backup and disaster recovery alerts also.
+
+To configure email notifications for your alerts, follow these steps:
+
+1. Go to **Azure Business Continuity Center** > **Alerts**, and then select **Create Alert Processing Rule**.
+
+2. Under **Scope**, select *scope of the alert processing rule*, and then apply the rule for all the resources in a subscription.
+
+   You can make other customizations to the scope by applying filters. For example, generating notification for alert of a certain severity, generating notifications only for selected alert rules, etc.
+
+3. On **Rule settings**, select **Apply action group** and **Create action group** (or use an existing one). It is the destination to which the notification for an alert should be sent. For example, an email address. 
+ 
+4.	To create  an action group, on the **Basics** tab, select the *name of the action group*, the *subscription*, and the *resource group* under which it must be created. 
+ 
+5. On the **Notifications** tab, select the *destination of the notification* as **Email**, **SMS Message**, or **Push/ Voice**, and then enter the *recipient's email ID* and other required details. 
+ 
+6. Select **Review+Create** > **Create** to deploy the action group. The creation of the action group leads you back to the alert processing rule creation. The created action group appears in the Rule settings page. 
+
+7. On the **Scheduling** tab, select **Always**. 
+ 
+8. On the **Details** tab, specify the subscription, resource group and name of the alert processing rule being created. 
+ 
+9. Add *Tags* if needed and select **Review + Create** > **Create**. The alert processing rule will be active in a few minutes. 
+
+## View metrics
+
+You can use Azure Business Continuity Center to view built-in metrics for business continuity scenarios, and enable alerts based on these metric values. 
+
+>[!Note]
+>Currently, only metrics for Azure Backup are supported (Backup Health Events and Restore Health Events). [Learn more](../backup/metrics-overview.md) about the supported metrics and their definitions.
+
+To view metrics, follow these steps:
+
+1. Go to **Azure Business Continuity Center** and select the **Metrics** tab to open the **Azure Monitor metrics explorer**.
+
+2. Select the *resource(s)* for which you want to see metrics. For example, in Azure Backup scenarios, you have to choose a *vault* (or a *group of vaults* in a subscription and region). 
+ 
+3. Select the *metric* you want to view, for example, *Backup Health events*.
+
+4. Use the *filters* to further see the metric values at lower levels of granularity, for example, a particular protected item in the vault.
+ 
+5. To create alert rules based on the value of the metric, select **New Alert Rule** at the top of the *metrics chart*, which leads you to the metric alert rules creation experience. [Learn more](../backup/metrics-overview.md#configure-alerts-and-notifications-on-your-metrics) about supported metric alert scenarios.
