Basic M365 Monitoring with PowerShell

Basic M365 Monitoring with PowerShell

Andres Bohren
Hi All, I’ve written a simple Script for Monitoring the M365 Services via the Health und Communications API. I think it’s a good start if you don’t have any other Monitoring Solution available. The cool thing is you can select the Services you’re interested in - usually not all Services are deployed at a customer. And you only get an Email for NEW or COSED Issues. If you are familiar with PowerShell you will find it easy to adopt and maybe extend the Script to create a Incident in your Ticketing Plattform or create a Teams Message.
