## Microsoft Azure App Configuration - An Overview

Azure App Configuration is a managed service that provides a central repository for managing application settings and feature flags. It allows development teams to decouple configuration from code, enabling dynamic configuration updates and feature rollouts without redeployment.

Applications Manager's [Azure App Configuration monitoring](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/azure-integration-services-monitoring.html#h2) provides visibility into the health and usage of your configuration stores. Track incoming HTTP request counts, request durations, throttled requests, storage consumption, request quota usage, snapshot storage, and geo-replication latency to ensure your configuration stores are operating reliably.

## Monitored Parameters

Navigate to the **Category View** by clicking the **Monitors** tab. Hover over **Child Monitors** under **Microsoft Azure** in the Cloud Apps table, and then select the **App Configurations** monitor from the displayed tooltip. This action displays the bulk configuration view for Azure App Configuration in three tabs:

- **Availability** tab gives the availability history for the past 24 hours or 30 days.
- **Performance** tab gives the health status and events for the past 24 hours or 30 days.
- **List view** enables you to perform [bulk admin configurations](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/help/bulk-config.html).

The Microsoft Azure monitor provides a brief detail of the Azure App Configuration under the given subscription. The following metrics are monitored in the corresponding tabs:
