About this tag
Azure Monitor is Microsoft's cloud-native observability platform for collecting, analyzing, and acting on telemetry from applications and infrastructure. Recent discussions on WindowsForum.com cover dynamic thresholds for log search alerts, which automate anomaly detection without manual static limits. A security vulnerability (CVE-2026-41105) in Action Groups highlights risks in alerting systems. Attackers have also abused Azure Monitor to send phishing emails via legitimate notification paths. New pipeline features include TLS ingestion, pod placement controls, and data transformations. A major theme is the deprecation of System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) management packs for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), Power BI Report Server (PBIRS), and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), with migration to Azure Monitor, Azure Arc, and Log Analytics required by January 2027.
