3rd party
Q: How many people think that you can only use Microsoft monitoring tools? That you can’t
use 3rd party tools?
Q: Does anyone want to guess how many 3rd party tools Azure Monitor integrates with?

Review / Q&A • There are LOTS of options
• Start getting into the habit of using Azure Monitor as your
first point for all monitoring toolsets
• Deep-dive into the new Log Analytics query language, and
the additional power and insights we gain from it
• Although Log Analytics (LA) has several security solutions,
start using Azure Security Center (ASC) as your first point
for all security toolsets
• Keep a close eye on Network Watcher, as just like Log
Analytics-to-Azure Monitor and Log Analytics-to-Azure
Security Center, it will become another important starting
point for all network-related toolsets
