Monitor Edge RAG Preview, enabled by Azure Arc

Edge RAG publishes metrics to Azure Monitor to assess the performance of the deployed extension. These metrics are composed of numerical values within a sequential set of time-series data. They offer detailed insights into specific aspects of the extension at a particular point in time.

Important

Edge RAG Preview, enabled by Azure Arc is currently in PREVIEW. See the Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews for legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.

Prerequisites

Before you begin:

• If you want to use Azure Managed Grafana to visualize your metrics, configure an Azure Monitor data source plug-in.
• Review Edge RAG metrics available for monitoring.

Review the metrics visualizations

Build a chart with metrics for Edge RAG in the Azure portal or by using Azure Managed Grafana.
