Cloud Secrets to-go: Logging, instrumentation, dashboards, alerts and all that

Hi Azure Friends, we are back with another lunch-time Cloud Secrets to-go online session - this time around its about logging, instrumentation, dashboards and alerts in Azure.

# Logging, instrumentation, dashboards, alerts and all that - for developers

Embracing DevOps entails more than just shipping changes to production faster and faster. Your team is suddenly also responsible for monitoring your software in production and detecting and troubleshooting issues. To work together with operation specialists in your team or maybe even embrace a #NoOps approach, you need to learn about monitoring as the developer.

We will discuss logging frameworks and log analytics solutions. Next to that, we will explore metrics: your software's KPIs. What metrics to choose and how to gather them. To let information come to us, we will use both logging and metrics to create dashboards and alerts that notify us when things go south. Or better yet: before things go south! Finally, we will combine all of this to see how we can quickly investigate and resolve production issues.

Join Henry Been for a demo-heavy session with Log Analytics, Application Insights, and the Azure Monitor, to see how to implement all of the above from scratch. During this session, you will learn everything you need to know to start monitoring your solutions and never lose any sleep ever again.
