Use Cases
Infrastructure Health Monitoring
Monitoring ensures Azure Virtual Machines, Storage Accounts, SQL Databases, Load Balancers, and Networks remain healthy and operational. Azure Monitor collects performance metrics such as CPU, RAM, Storage latency, and network throughput and triggers alerts when thresholds are breached, enabling faster issue identification and resolution.
Application Performance & Error Tracking
Application Insights captures real-time logs, traces, dependency tracking, and exception insights for web or API applications. This helps developers and DevOps teams analyze performance bottlenecks, track request failures, improve response times, and optimize the user experience with actionable insights.
Security & Compliance Alerting
With log analytics and diagnostic settings enabled, the system can detect unauthorized access attempts, configuration changes, unusual login patterns, and other anomalies. Alerts notify the security team immediately, ensuring compliance with internal policies, SOC2, ISO 27001, or government auditing standards.
