Instrumentation and troubleshooting

This course focuses on teaching developers how to effectively monitor, observe, and troubleshoot Azure-based applications and services. It is designed for learners who build cloud solutions and need clear visibility into how their systems behave in real-world scenarios, from resource health to application performance.

The course begins by introducing Azure Monitor and the core concepts of observability in the cloud. Learners explore how Azure collects metrics and logs, how dashboards provide a centralized view of system health, and how alerts help teams respond to issues proactively. Through guided exercises, learners work directly with Azure resources to generate metrics, visualize data, and configure alert rules and action groups to notify stakeholders when thresholds are exceeded.

The course then expands into application-level monitoring using Application Insights, availability tests, and Log Analytics. Learners discover how Application Insights captures telemetry such as requests, dependencies, failures, and performance data across Azure services. They also learn how to configure availability tests to monitor application uptime from multiple locations and how Log Analytics enables deep investigation of logs using Kusto Query Language. Hands-on labs reinforce how these tools work together to support diagnostics and root cause analysis.

In the final section, the course focuses on instrumentation and troubleshooting distributed applications. Learners enable monitoring on Azure web apps, examine live telemetry, and use Application Map to visualize service dependencies and identify performance bottlenecks or failure points. The course concludes with performance optimization concepts, helping learners understand when to apply techniques such as caching, throughput tuning, and resource optimization to improve application responsiveness and reliability.

By the end of the course, learners will be able to design monitoring strategies, diagnose issues across Azure services, and optimize application performance using Azure-native tools. The course emphasizes practical, real-world scenarios to ensure learners can confidently monitor and troubleshoot production Azure solutions.
