Azure Monitor: Metrics vs. Logs <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Azure Monitor Metrics:<\/span>\u00a0Azure Monitor Metrics is an ultimate feature of Azure Monitor, which collects numeric data from monitored resources in a time series database. Metrics are numerical values collected at regular intervals that describe an aspect of a system at a particular point in time. Metrics are always lightweight and capable of supporting near real-time scenarios, making them useful for alerts and rapid detection of problems.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Azure Monitor Logs:<\/span>\u00a0Azure Monitor Logs is a feature of Azure Monitor, which collects and organizes log and performance data from monitored resources. Log data collected from various sources can be consolidated into a single workspace to be analyzed together.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Amazon CloudWatch: Prioritizing Automation <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Amazon CloudWatch prioritizes reducing the average time to resolution for users who want to optimize cloud resource usage through rapid discovery, notification, and remediation. This is especially helpful for organizations that operate at a scale with large cloud footprints.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After setting alerts with CloudWatch Alarms, users can automatically respond to operational changes with CloudWatch Events and Auto Scaling. Auto Scaling helps automate capacity and resource planning. Users can set an alert for a key metric such as CPU to trigger an automated Auto Scaling action on their behalf.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
