How Azure Monitor works
Azure Monitor collects monitoring telemetry from a variety of on-premises and Azure sources. Management tools, such as those in Azure Security Center and Azure Automation, also push log data to Azure Monitor. The service aggregates and stores this telemetry in a log data store that is optimised for cost and performance. Analyse data, set up alerts, get end-to-end views of your applications and use machine learning–driven insights to quickly identify and resolve problems.
Gain insights from your data
Use the powerful analytics platform and extensive query language to analyse, interact with and derive insights from huge volumes of operational data in seconds. Isolate anomalies and detect problems quickly using smart analytics and machine learning algorithms.
