Generally Available: Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry-based Distro adds Live Metrics

Azure Monitor application insights is a cloud native application monitoring offering which enables customers to observe failures, bottlenecks, and usage patterns to resolve incidents faster and reduce downtime.

Live Metrics is a production-grade capability within Azure Monitor application insights that enables you to see telemetry flowing off your application with one second latency. For example, you may use Live Metrics as you deploy updates to production to see real-time your key (e.g., failure rate change).

The Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry “Distro” includes a thin wrapper that enables you to get started with a single line of code, and it includes added Azure-specific capabilities such as Live Metrics to give you a first-class experience on Azure.

Today’s announcement adds Live Metrics to .NET, Node.js, and Python. The Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry Java Distro already had Live Metrics. Our immediate next step is to add filtering to Live Metrics, so that you can customize your near-real time view.
