Monitoring a Global Multitenant Service
summary
Cloud monitoring strategy centers on consolidating scattered logs and metrics into Azure Monitor (metrics, logs/log analytics, alerts, dashboards) and instrumenting apps with Application Insights; alerting uses action groups (email, SMS, voice, webhooks) and classic alerts are retired (Aug 31 2019). Kusto aka Azure Data Explorer is the scalable but costly option for huge telemetry; default App Insights retention is 90 days. Concrete anti-patterns: writing all logs to one DB creates a bottleneck; pragmatic fix shown is auto-reboot VM when memory >80%.
