Documentation forServer & Application Monitor
Monitoring your applications and environment is a key capability of Hybrid Cloud Observability and is also available in a standalone module, Server & Application Monitor (SAM). Hybrid Cloud Observability and SAM are built on the self-hosted SolarWinds Platform.

Microsoft Azure Event Hub Namespace

This SAM application monitor template contains metrics, including requests, messages, errors, connections and traffic for monitoring Microsoft Azure Event Hubs. Some counters may require manual configuration, such as setting up installation-specific instances or correcting thresholds for your environment.

Microsoft AzureRM was deprecated on February 29, 2024. To use the Az module templates, uninstall the AzureRM module and install the Az module. To install the Azure Az module, refer to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/install-az-ps?view=azps-7.1.0.

Passwords for legacy Microsoft Azure application monitor templates and related application monitors are stored as plain text in the SolarWinds Platform database. SolarWinds recommends switching to Microsoft Azure API poller templates that leverage OAuth 2.0 authorization.”
