Monitor your app using Azure Developer CLI

In this article, you learn how to use Azure Developer CLI (azd) to monitor your app health.

While we use the React Web App with Node.js API and MongoDB on Azure template for this guide, you can use any of the Azure Developer CLI templates.

Note

The azd monitor command is still in beta. Read more about alpha and beta feature support on the feature versioning and release strategy page.

Prerequisites

Configure your environment

Create monitoring activity in the app before running the azd monitor commands:

  1. Open the ToDo app in your preferred code editor.

  2. Create a new list and add a couple of items.
