How the start/stop of arc enabled machine work in Azure Portal? Is there a way it can be deallocated from Azure Portal? I'm setting up an Alert in Azure to monitor these arc enabled machines so when they are down I'd get alerted. The alert is from the Azure Monitor based on the activity log of deallocating a VM. Thanks.

Azure Arc-enabled servers are managed by Azure Arc, which is a service that extends Azure management capabilities to on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge environments. When you connect a server to Azure Arc, you can manage it using the Azure portal, Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, or Azure REST API. To start or stop an Azure Arc-enabled server from the Azure portal, you can follow these steps:- Open the Azure portal and navigate to the Azure Arc-enabled server that you want to start or stop.
- Click on the "Start" or "Stop" button in the toolbar at the top of the page.
- In the confirmation dialog box, click "Yes" to confirm that you want to start or stop the server. When you stop an Azure Arc-enabled server, it is deallocated and its resources are released. You can start the server again at any time, and its resources will be allocated again. To monitor the start and stop events of Azure Arc-enabled servers, you can create an Activity Log alert in Azure Monitor. An Activity Log alert is a way to get notified when a specific event occurs in your Azure subscription. You can create an Activity Log alert to notify you when an Azure Arc-enabled server is started or stopped.
To create an Activity Log alert for Azure Arc-enabled servers, you can follow these steps:
Create an action group. An action group is a collection of notification preferences and actions that you define. You can create an action group in the Azure portal or using Azure PowerShell or Azure CLI.
Create an Activity Log alert. You can create an Activity Log alert in the Azure portal or using Azure PowerShell or Azure CLI.

2024-09-09T14:53:33.1+00:00 Thank you so much for the details. In your step 2 "click start or stop" that's the piece I was looking for but when I click on an ARC-enabled machine I don't get that "Start or Stop" button/link at the top of the page. All it has is "Delete / Refresh / Feedback". Did I miss anything?
