Explore Azure Dashboards
Visualizations such as charts and graphs can help you analyze your monitoring data to drill down on issues and identify patterns.
Depending on the tool you use, you may also share visualizations with other users inside and outside of your organization.
Azure dashboards are the primary dashboarding technology for Azure.
They're handy in providing a single pane of glass over your Azure infrastructure and services allowing you to identify critical issues quickly.
