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 <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch">AWS Cloudwatch</a>.</p> <p>Some Cloud resources like <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-overview">Azure Functions</a> expose &ldquo;a limited number of useful metrics&rdquo; in Azure Monitor. This is a polite way of saying that the metrics are &ldquo;completely useless&rdquo; 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&rsquo;t really have any useful metrics in Azure Monitor which you could alert on if something is off.</p>
