How can I 'listen' for status changes on an azure durable function?

Question

I have a web app where clients can press a button that calls a durable function. As long as that function is executing, a spinning wheel is animated. When the function finishes executing, I stop/hide the loading wheel, and show a green check-mark.

Currently, I'm just hitting the "statusQueryGetUri" returned by the durable function, on a regular interval, to see if the function is running/stopped.

Is there a way for me to 'listen' for changes in status so I'm not hitting that URL repeatedly?

While you create the alert rule you have an option to select condition:

There you get "Custom Log Search" as an option:

You can configure the type of trigger or resource on which you want to perform this action while creating the action group:

You can customize the rule according to your requirement. i.e. you can check for traces log for any execution or you may just check the status of the function. [ this is a reference ]
