How do I check if Azure real-time alerting is configured correctly?

When configuring Azure real-time alerting, Evident Monitoring cannot confirm whether or not the configuration is done properly.  However, once real-time alerting is configured, you can check whether or not Evident Monitoring has received any events/messages from Azure.  You can check the last message received timestamp by doing the following:

1. Login with Evident Monitoring
2. Go to Control Panel -> External Accounts
3. Find your Azure external account's external account ID.  You can do this by clicking on Edit.  This URL you get will be in this format https://esp.evident.io/control_panel/external_accounts/<external_account_id>/edit
4. Use the external account ID from step 3 and go to this URL: https://esp.evident.io/api/v2/external_accounts/<external_account_id>/azure.json

The response will include a last_message_received_at field that tells you when is the last time Evident Monitoring received an event from Azure.  Note that this field is updated once an hour.  Sample output below:
