Monitoring azure function app execution time

[Sivp09]

An Azure Function (app service, .NET) typically takes about a minute to process a job once a file arrives in a specific storage account. If the file processing does not complete within one or two minutes, an alert needs to be generated. How can we monitor this scenario using Dynatrace, like file age in filesystem monitoring extension ?

Hello @Sivp09 

It depends on the monitored technology either .NET or Python or Node.js.

PFA Dynatrace resources for the required configurations:

Hi @Peter_Youssef 

The solution is .NET-based and uses an App Service Plan. While monitoring the Azure Function can be done using the links you provided, I need to set up alerts for scenarios where execution doesn't occur or when a file remains in storage. How can we achieve this? Are there any built-in metrics for monitoring Azure Storage or functions, or can a filesystem extension be utilized?
