This page has the resources for my Azure SQL Monitoring Talk

Abstract

Migrating you on-premises Database to Azure SQL DB was easy but now comes the hard part how do you setup monitoring and alerts? While there are many 3rd party options, let's have a look at what comes standard with Azure:

  • Using Azure Log Analytics to monitor databases
  • How can you be sure your azure SQL Database isn't under or over allocated, so that your costs are optimized.
  • How can you project what future costs may be.
  • What tools from your on-premises SQL server toolkit will still work and what new capabilities exists.

Join this session to ensure you are getting the most out of your Azure SQL database monitoring.
