Moving Up the Monitoring Stack
summary
A concrete recipe for moving from VM perf counters to application metrics using Azure tools: instrument a Tailwind Traders inventory API, query logs with the Kusto-like Log Analytics/Analytics console and Azure Application Insights, compute SLIs (example math shows 50% = 0.5) and set an SLO 90% over 30 days. The demo converts perf counters into an SLI with no dev changes, produces actionable graphs, flags brief drops in availability, and can trigger alerts and autoscale rules.
