Azure monitoring is a suite of tools that provides real-time insights into the performance and health of your Azure services. Monitoring your Azure services helps identify and diagnose issues before they cause significant outages, and helps optimize your Azure deployments.
Azure monitoring is built on the foundation of the Azure monitoring service, which provides global monitoring and logging for Azure resources. The Azure monitoring service is the foundation of the Azure monitoring platform, which provides monitoring for all types of Azure resources, including compute, storage, networking, and applications.
The Azure monitoring platform includes the following tools:
The Azure monitoring service provides global monitoring for Azure resources.
The Azure monitoring platform includes the Azure monitoring agent and the Azure monitoring portal.
The Azure monitoring agent is a software agent that runs on your agent hosts and collects performance data from your Azure resources.
The Azure monitoring portal is a web-based interface that lets you view Performance Monitor data, receive real-time alerts, and drill down into metric details.
The Azure monitoring platform also includes the following features:
The Azure Monitoring Dashboard lets you view performance data and drill down into metric details.
The data collected by Azure monitoring is stored in a Log Analytics workspace. A Log Analytics workspace is a central location in Azure Monitor where data from multiple sources can be collected, analyzed, and queried.
You can use the Log Analytics workspace to create custom dashboards and reports. You can also create alerts to notify you when specific conditions are met, such as when the average response time for a web service exceeds a certain threshold.
Azure Monitor is a cost-effective way to collect and analyze data about your Azure resources and services. However, it is important to understand how the data is collected and stored, and how to use the tools in the Log Analytics workspace to effectively monitor your resources and services.
The Azure Monitoring Services portal provides access to global monitoring data and reports.
The Azure Monitor Insights portal provides access to insights and analyses of your monitoring data.
The Azure Monitoring Scheduler lets you schedule performance data collection for your Azure resources.
The Azure monitoring platform is extendable with custom tools and dashboards.
The Azure Monitoring Services portal contains a list of Azure monitoring tools that you can use to extend the Azure monitoring platform.
The Azure Monitoring Dashboard provides a central place to view performance data and drill down into metric details.
The Azure monitoring platform is extensible with custom tools and dashboards.
Overall, Azure monitoring provides real-time insights into the performance and health of your Azure services. By monitoring your Azure services, you can identify and diagnose issues before they cause significant outages.
The Azure monitoring platform includes tools to help you view performance data and drill down into metric details, and to schedule performance data collection for your Azure resources.
