1 Monitoring Azure Azure Monitor How, What, Why? Stefan Roth MVP Experts Live Café Switzerland:

2 Why Should We Care? AWS Private IT environment should deliver optimum performance for end users. Improve productivity and performance. Detect problems to prevent disasters. Reduce downtime and business losses Plan and budget for IT upgrades.

3 Monitoring Services on Azure Big Picture

4 What s Azure Monitor? Built-In monitoring support for Azure resources Out-of-box metrics and logs (Activity logs, Diagnostic Logs, Metrics are part of Azure Monitor) Alert rules to get notified & take automated actions APIs for 3rd party integration Enables advanced monitoring and analytics experiences

5 Activity Logs Diagnostic Log Metrics Monitoring Pipeline Azure Monitor

6 Activity Log Actions Who, what, when Details on operational write operations (PUT, POST, DELETE) Contains log of management operations on resources 90-day data retention Built-in analytics via Log Analytics Action, caller, status & time stamp (JSON)

7 Diagnostic Log Depending on resource type VM e.g Windows events, IIS logs Storage Account e.g blob, table and queue logs Details of operation of the resource No retention time Route to OMS Log Analytics for advanced analytics Formats like JSON, CSV NEW: Configure Multiple Diagnostic Settings Per Resource

8 Metrics More Azure resources now provide metrics 1-minute granularity 30-day data retention No diagnostics setup (or storage account) required Consume via Portal or REST API Counters like % CPU, IOPS, # Messages

9 Compute Versus Non-Compute Resources

10 Metrics Explorer (Preview) Analysis across different resource types, multiple resource groups, and subscriptions. Split a metric by dimension to visualize how different segments of the metric compare against each other. Filter metric with multiple dimensions. Customize and pin charts to dashboard

11 DEMO Metrics Explorer (Preview)

12 Next Generation of Azure Alerts Alert Rule Target Resource (z.b. Virtual machine) Criteria Signal (Metric e.g. CPU, Logs) Logic (CPU > 90%) Action ITSM Mail/SMS/Push/Voice Azure Function LogicApp Automation Runbook Webhook Low Alert Latency Control Metric Conditions (Avg, Max, Min, Total) Unified Management Combine Multiple Metrics Modular Action Groups

13 DEMO New Alert Generation

14 Third Party Integration e.g. Grafana Better visualization than Azure portal Multiple data sources (Azure Monitor, Application Insights and more) Combine data from different data sources Built-in alerting (currently not supported for Azure Monitor plugin) Looks cool

15 Azure Monitor 3 rd Party Integrations

17 Network Watcher Connectivity Troubleshoot Connectivity Check Express Route Connection Monitor Traffic Analytics (Preview)

18 Traffic Analytics (Preview) Visualize network activity across your Azure subscriptions and identify hotspots. Identify security threats to, and secure your network, with information such as open-ports, applications attempting internet access, and virtual machines (VM) connecting to rogue networks. Understand traffic flow patterns across Azure regions and the internet to optimize your network deployment for performance and capacity. Pinpoint network misconfigurations leading to failed connections in your network.
