Azure Monitor offers a central platform for organizations to gather, analyze, and act on monitoring data from Azure and non-Azure resources. Tools and APIs offered with Monitor help inform administrators and developers about resource performance to make operational decisions, diagnose problems, and improve code.

Product: Monitor

Licensing: Monitor

Near-Term Roadmap (2026–2027)

Recent Monitor features show Microsoft’s focus on making Azure Monitor easier to adopt and operate, and they bring stronger support for Kubernetes and open-source tooling and higher-level service-health insight:

  • Pipeline transformations simplify modifying telemetry data before it’s ingested into Monitor
  • Grafana dashboards, which provide extensive metrics visualization, can be created and edited within Monitor; there are numerous prebuilt Grafana dashboards for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and other Azure services
  • OpenTelemetry monitoring, including metrics and visualizations, is supported
