Azure function monitoring with Azure Monitor and Application Insights
Microsoft Azure provides a metrics and monitoring framework called Azure Monitor. With it you can monitor your Cloud infrastructure and services running there. You can view graphs of the metrics, alert on threshold and all that usual stuff, just like in AWS Cloudwatch.
Some Cloud resources like Azure Functions expose “a limited number of useful metrics” in Azure Monitor. This is a polite way of saying that the metrics are “completely useless” for most intents and purposes. For example, an Azure Function that gets triggered a few times a week on an irregular schedule by real people you don’t really have any useful metrics in Azure Monitor which you could alert on if something is off.
