☁️ Monitor Azure Resource Events with LogicMonitor Logs
I have a strong preference for Microsoft Azure due to its exceptional capabilities! I recently wrote a blog post showcasing how to bring your resource events to the LogicMonitor platform. This way, you can set up alerts for critical business operations, such as when a new user is added to your Active Directory (Entra), or when a file is deleted from your blob storage. I hope you find it as helpful as I did! Monitor Azure Resource Events with LogicMonitor Logs Do you use LogicMonitor or any other monitoring platform to address unique use cases?
