The biggest problem with modern monitoring isn't a lack of data; it's having too much data that costs too much money. Most enterprises are paying for logs they will never actually use. When you’re operating at a global scale, that waste adds up quickly.

In this session, we’ll look at how to architect your monitoring so you only keep and pay for the data that actually helps you solve problems. I’ll show you how to filter out the noise before it’s even stored and how to use Azure’s different log tiers to save money without losing visibility. We’ll finish by looking at how to build dashboards that actually tell you if your system is healthy, rather than just showing you expensive clutter.
