lets you store, search, analyze, monitor, and alert on log data and events in
.NET and .NET Core apps. A Log4Net agent is provided, as well as a
Cloud Logging API client library.
To get started with Logging, see the following articles:
Monitoring
collects metrics, events, and metadata from .NET apps.
Monitoring ingests that data and generates insights with
dashboards, charts, and alerts.
