Microsoft Azure Container App
Microsoft Azure Container App - An Overview
Azure Container App is a serverless container service which allows you to run microservices and containerized applications without managing complex infrastructure. It is capable of integrating seamlessly with other Azure services like Azure Functions, Azure Logic Apps, Azure Monitor, and Azure Key Vault.
Applications Manager's Azure Container App monitoring tool provides you with different functionalities to monitor your Azure Container App alongside of other Azure services. It acts as a dedicated monitoring tool to ensure in-depth monitoring of major KPIs like resource utilization, JVM performance, Resilience Statistics etc.

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 Container Apps monitor from the displayed tooltip. This action will display the bulk configuration view for Azure Container App 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.
The Microsoft Azure monitor provides a brief detail of the Azure Container App under the given subscription. Following are the list of metrics monitored in Azure Container App Monitoring in their corresponding tabs:
Note: Azure Container App monitoring is supported for Azure Gov Cloud accounts from Applications Manager v173000.
