About this tag
Azure Monitor is Microsoft's cloud-native observability platform for collecting, analyzing, and acting on telemetry from cloud and hybrid environments. Recent discussions on WindowsForum.com cover a range of Azure Monitor topics including new preview features like Universal Print diagnostic logs and alerts, AI-guided troubleshooting via Azure Copilot Observability Agent, dynamic thresholds for log search alerts, and the Azure Monitor pipeline with TLS ingestion and data transformations. Security concerns are also prominent, such as CVE-2026-41105, an elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in Action Groups, and a phishing campaign abusing Azure Monitor to send fake billing emails. Additionally, the deprecation of SCOM management packs and the shift to Azure Monitor and Azure Arc for hybrid monitoring are key migration topics for enterprise IT teams.
Microsoft has marked two Universal Print observability features as preview available in June 2026, with rollout start targeted for December 2026: diagnostic logs and alerts through Azure Monitor, and audit logging into Microsoft Purview’s Unified Audit Log. Admins should use the June preview...
Microsoft announced on June 23, 2026, that Azure Copilot Observability Agent is generally available for Azure customers, adding an AI-driven troubleshooting layer to Azure Monitor that correlates logs, metrics, traces, topology, resource health and operational context across cloud environments...
Microsoft has added Dynamic thresholds for Azure Monitor Log Search Alerts in June 2026, bringing automated anomaly detection to log-based alert rules so administrators can alert on unusual behavior without manually choosing static limits for every query. The change matters because log alerts...
Microsoft has assigned CVE-2026-41105 to an elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in the Azure Monitor Action Group notification system, and as of May 8, 2026, the public MSRC entry identifies the affected cloud component but discloses little about the underlying flaw. That sparse disclosure is...
Microsoft’s own cloud infrastructure is being abused in a way that should make every security team sit up straight: attackers are using Azure Monitor to send billing-themed phishing emails that look like genuine Microsoft notifications. The campaign stands out because it does not depend on crude...
Microsoft’s recent push to expand Azure Monitor’s edge-to-cloud observability surface adds three practical capabilities to the Azure Monitor pipeline in public preview — TLS/mTLS secure ingestion, pod placement controls, and data transformations with automated schema standardization — features...
Microsoft’s decision to shift the Sentinel/telemetry migration timeline and related monitoring deprecations toward a January 2027 end-of-support window is the most consequential infrastructure calendar call many enterprise ops teams will face this year — and it arrived after a wave of customer...
Microsofto’s Jan. 19, 2026 announcement that it will deprecate the System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) Management Packs for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), Power BI Report Server (PBIRS) and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) marks another clear pivot from on‑premises...
Microsoft’s announcement that the System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) management packs for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), Power BI Report Server (PBIRS) and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) are formally deprecated in January 2026 with an End of Support date of January 2027 is a...
Microsoft’s announcement that the System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) Management Packs for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), Power BI Report Server (PBIRS) and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) are deprecanted — with support ending in January 2027 — is a tectonic shift for enterprises...
Microsoft’s latest lifecycle moves have quietly — and in some cases not so quietly — tightened the noose on on‑premises SQL tooling and monitoring, forcing many organizations to rethink long‑standing architectures and operational contracts. Two separate but complementary actions define the...
Microsoft’s Security Update Guide lists CVE‑2025‑62550 as a Remote Code Execution (RCE) entry affecting the Azure Monitor Agent, but the vendor page is client‑side rendered and does not expose full advisory text without JavaScript, so the public technical details remain limited until the MSRC...
The short version: a decade-old roundup that lists “10 tools for Microsoft Azure development” still surfaces in search results, but the landscape has changed dramatically—some entries are useful historical pointers, a few are niche community utilities, and several are obsolete or superseded by...
New Relic’s latest push to wire intelligent observability directly into Microsoft Azure’s agentic surfaces promises to shorten troubleshooting loops, reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR), and bring production-grade telemetry into the IDE and control-plane experiences developers and SREs use...
Microsoft’s advisory tracker lists CVE-2025-62207 as an Elevation of Privilege vulnerability affecting Azure Monitor components, but public technical details are currently limited and the vendor entry does not disclose an exploit proof‑of‑concept; defenders should treat this as an urgent signal...
Microsoft’s advisory listings and community trackers show activity around Azure Monitor Agent and related Azure agents, but the numeric label CVE-2025-59504 could not be confidently resolved in vendor or community records during verification — what is verifiable is that multiple high‑impact...
Microsoft has published a high‑severity advisory for CVE‑2025‑55321: a cross‑site scripting (CWE‑79) flaw in Azure Monitor Log Analytics that can be abused by a privileged user to inject and render attacker‑controlled content in the Azure Monitor web UI, enabling spoofing of telemetry...
Microsoft has made Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Automatic generally available, offering an “opinionated” — but fully Kubernetes‑compatible — managed mode that stitches together autoscaling, node lifecycle management, observability, and security defaults to deliver production‑ready clusters...
Microsoft’s Azure Kubernetes Service has introduced a new, opinionated deployment mode — AKS Automatic — designed to dramatically reduce the operational overhead long associated with running Kubernetes at scale. The offering promises an “easy mode” for production-ready clusters with preselected...
