Azure Monitor Tutorial: Getting Started22


Introduction

Azure Monitor is a comprehensive monitoring and diagnostics platform that provides a single pane of glass for monitoring your applications, infrastructure, and network. With Azure Monitor, you can collect, analyze, and visualize data from your cloud and on-premises resources. You can also create alerts and configure automated actions to respond to critical events.

Getting Started

To get started with Azure Monitor, you'll need to create an Azure account and create a Log Analytics workspace. A Log Analytics workspace is a central repository for your monitoring data. Once you have created a Log Analytics workspace, you can start collecting data from your resources.

Collecting Data

Azure Monitor can collect data from a variety of sources, including Azure resources, on-premises servers, and custom applications. You can collect data using the following methods:
Azure Monitor agents: Agents are installed on your resources and collect data from the operating system and applications running on the resource.
Log Analytics agent: The Log Analytics agent is a lightweight agent that collects data from Windows and Linux servers. It can collect data from event logs, performance counters, and custom logs.
Azure Monitor REST API: You can use the Azure Monitor REST API to collect data from your resources.

Analyzing Data

Once you have collected data, you can analyze it using Azure Monitor's built-in analytics tools. You can create dashboards to visualize your data and create alerts to notify you of critical events. You can also use Azure Monitor's machine learning capabilities to detect anomalies and identify trends in your data.

Responding to Events

Azure Monitor can help you respond to critical events by triggering automated actions. You can create alerts to notify you of critical events and configure automated actions to respond to those events. For example, you can configure Azure Monitor to automatically restart a failed service or scale up a virtual machine when CPU usage is high.

Next Steps

Now that you have a basic understanding of Azure Monitor, you can start using it to monitor your applications, infrastructure, and network. Here are some next steps:
Create a Log Analytics workspace.
Install the Azure Monitor agent on your resources.
Start collecting data from your resources.
Create dashboards to visualize your data.
Create alerts to notify you of critical events.
Configure automated actions to respond to critical events.
