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.
