AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Full Course - Monitoring Data Platform

The video tutorial explains the two fundamental types of telemetry data: metrics and logs. Metrics are numerical values that provide insights into a system's performance at specific times, supporting real-time scenarios. Logs contain various data types organized into records, including events and traces, which can be analyzed together with performance data. Azure Monitor collects this data, displaying it on the Azure portal's overview page. Users can view performance metrics for resources like virtual machines and interact with these metrics using the metric Explorer. The tutorial also covers how to pin charts to dashboards for comprehensive visualization.
