Over last few months, individual capabilities such as <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/azure\/azure-monitor\/app\/app-insights-overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Application Insights<\/a> and Azure Monitor logs have come together to provide a seamless and integrated Azure Monitor experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019d like to share our three favorites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">End-to-end monitoring for Azure Kubernetes Service<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Integrated access control for logs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Intelligent scalable alerts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"end-to-end-monitoring-for-azure-kubernetes-service\">End-to-end monitoring for Azure Kubernetes Service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/services\/kubernetes-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Kubernetes Service<\/a> (AKS) customers rely on <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/azure\/azure-monitor\/insights\/container-insights-overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Monitor for containers<\/a> to get out of the box monitoring for the AKS clusters. <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/liveLogRBAC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kubernetes event logs<\/a> are now available in real-time in addition to live container logs. You can now filter the charts and metrics for specific AKS node pools and see Node Storage Capacity metrics when you drill down into <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/ci-nodepool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">node details<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/68d72f39-d4fd-4ad0-9670-56a36a667e3c.webp\" alt=\"Live Kubernetes Events\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"Live Kubernetes Events\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For monitoring your applications running on AKS, you can just instrument with <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/azure\/azure-monitor\/azure-monitor-app-hub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Application Insights SDKs<\/a>, but if you cannot instrument your workloads (for example, you may be running a legacy app or a third party app), we now have an alternative that doesn\u2019t require any instrumentation! Application Insights can leverage your existing service mesh investments, the preview currently supports Istio, and provide <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/azure\/azure-monitor\/app\/kubernetes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">application monitoring for AKS<\/a> without any modification to your app\u2019s code. This enables you to immediately start taking advantage of out-of-the-box capabilities like Application Map, Live Metrics Stream, Application Dashboards, Workbooks, User Behavior Analytics, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/161ef12d-8cb2-4c59-b5d3-b3e19c235d80.webp\" alt=\"Application Map for AKS cluster that leverages zero onboarding\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"Application Map for AKS cluster that leverages zero onboarding\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through a combined view of application and infrastructure, Azure Monitor now provides a full-stack monitoring view of Kubernetes clusters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"integrated-access-control-for-logs\">Integrated access control for logs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure Monitor is the central platform for collecting logs across monitoring, management, security, and other log types in Azure.

One of the challenges that customers were facing was configuring access control based on a resource. For example, how do you ensure that anyone who has access to virtual machine (VM) also has access to the logs generated by the VM. In line with our vision to provide you a seamless and native monitoring experience, we are now providing <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/azure\/azure-monitor\/platform\/manage-access#access-modes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">granular role-based access control for logs<\/a> that help you cascade the permissions you have set at a resource level down to the operational logs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/43418ffa-765c-482d-a3ee-c24eedb708e9.webp\" alt=\"Use granular RBAC for logs\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"Granular RBAC for logs\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users can now also access logs scoped to their resource, allowing them to explore and query logs without needing the understand the entire workspace structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/d765c749-563e-4b68-83f2-0f64178b4f4b.webp\" alt=\"Directly access logs scoped to the resource\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"Directly access logs scoped to the resource\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"intelligent-and-scalable-alerts\">Intelligent and scalable alerts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/azure\/azure-monitor\/platform\/alerts-dynamic-thresholds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Metric Alerts with Dynamic Thresholds<\/a>, now generally available, enables Azure Monitor to determine the right thresholds for alert rules. <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/azure\/azure-monitor\/platform\/alerts-metric-overview#monitoring-at-scale-using-metric-alerts-in-azure-monitor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Multi-resource alerts<\/a> makes it easy to create a single alert rule and apply across multiple VMs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/8b1000e7-030c-4bc2-975d-d3b0334cafe0.webp\" alt=\"Configuring Dynamic Thresholds\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"Dynamic Thresholds\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/azure\/azure-monitor\/platform\/alerts-action-rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Action Rules<\/a>, available in preview, add more flexibility and finer controls for <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/azure\/azure-monitor\/platform\/action-groups\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Action Groups<\/a>.
