Action required: Retirement of “Get Alert Smart groups” in Azure Monitor

You’re receiving this email because you’re using GetSmartGroups API in Azure Monitor. 

GetSmartGroups API is a Smart Groups feature set that doesn’t return any value (empty) today, thus eliminating the need to use it. 

On 30 September 2026, we’ll be retiring GetSmartGroups API. Before that date, you’ll need to stop using this API. 

As of September 2023, we’re starting the 3-year process of deprecating GetSmartGroups API. For information about legal terms and the privacy policy, see the Microsoft privacy statement. 

Required action 

To avoid a breaking change in your system while using GetSmartGroups  API, please remove the use of this API by 30 September 2026. 

After 30 September 2026, the GetSmartGroups API won’t be supported.
