Azure Monitor Overview

Introduction

Azure Monitor provides insights into your Azure resources' health and performance. It allows you to quickly identify and respond to issues, ensuring high availability and reliable operations.

Key Features

• Resource Monitoring: Track the health and performance of your Azure resources.
• Anomaly Detection: Identify unusual behavior patterns.
• Alerting: Set up notifications for critical events.
• Log Analytics: Analyze logs for troubleshooting.

How it Works

Azure Monitor collects data from various sources – virtual machines, containers, apps, and more – and analyzes it to create dashboards and alerts. It uses machine learning to automatically detect and classify anomalies.

Example: Monitoring a VM

Imagine a virtual machine experiencing high CPU utilization. Azure Monitor will automatically trigger an alert, allowing you to investigate and address the issue quickly.
