We are just in the process of truly integrating our existing on prem application with Azure.
Until now, I have been taking the approach of when we see something built in Azure, we try to monitor it without
consideration of the other pieces that may be added later (mainly because those components had not been defined)
However, once I saw a complete plan for Azure, I realized this was a far from elegant solution.
Azure has so many different components and capabilities, it appears that taking this approach may not be
as sustainable.
Right now, we have our Azure instance connection set up with Dynatrace, so we get the basic features. However,
there is a lot of functionality that I can’t seem to find based on what our company is planning on
implementing. Let me list below the main components I need to have in Dynatrace
App services
Azure Data Factory functionality.
Event Grid Trigger Apps
Express Route functionality
Key Vaults
Log analytics
Malware Scanning
Service Bus Trigger Apps
Service Bus functionality
So ideally, we would want to pull any metrics on the performance of these capabilities.
Additionally, we’d want the ability to process and react to entries in Log analytics or Event Grid.
With all of that said, I am trying to find the best “approach” to ensuring this information is available to be put into Dynatrace and then leveraged from Dynatrace.
I’m not a cloud engineer by trade. I’ve dealt primarily with classic on prem networks, but I need to ensure this information is in Dynatrace.
Is there any advice on a tool or method for getting the most of those items listed above into Dynatrace.
I realize one means of porting into Dynatrace may not work for everything, but is there something that captures most of it?
Also, if anyone has experience with classes or training that seems to support what I am trying to do, please share as well.
Kindest regards,
Runatyr
