Monitoring and reporting in Azure

Azure offers many services that together provide a comprehensive solution for collecting, analyzing, and acting on telemetry from your applications and from the Azure resources that support them. These services can also monitor critical on-premises resources to provide a hybrid monitoring environment.

Azure Monitor provides a single unified hub for all monitoring and diagnostics data in Azure. You can use it to get visibility across your resources. With Azure Monitor, you can find and fix problems, optimize performance, and understand customer behavior.

  • Monitor and visualize metrics. Metrics are numerical values available from Azure resources that help you understand the health of your systems. You can customize charts for your dashboards, and use workbooks for reporting.

  • Query and analyze logs. Log Analytics provides a central repository to aggregate data from activity and diagnostic logs in Azure. From there, you can run queries to help troubleshoot issues or to visualize data. You can also collect logs from other monitoring and management solutions for your cloud or on-premises resources.

  • Set up alerts and actions. Alerts proactively notify you of critical conditions, so you can take corrective actions based on triggers from metrics, logs, or service health issues. You can set up different notifications and actions, and send data to your IT service management tools.
