Introduction
Azure Monitor is a comprehensive solution that collects, analyzes, and responds to telemetry data from both on-premises and cloud environments.
Suppose you work for a large e-commerce company that relies heavily on its online platform to generate revenue. During a major sales event, your website experiences a sudden increase in traffic, causing performance issues and impacting customer experience.
