We are excited to announce the public preview of Azure Data Explorer Insights!
ADX Insights (Azure Monitor for Azure Data Explorer) provides comprehensive monitoring of your clusters by delivering a unified view of your cluster performance, operations, and usage.


Built on the Azure Monitor Workbooks platform, ADX insights offers:


 



  • At scale perspective: showing a snapshot view of the clusters’ primary metrics to easily track performance, ingestion, and export operations. Unsustainable values are highlighted in orange. You can drill down to the “at-resource” view by clicking on the cluster name.
