Azure Container Instance Monitoring Integration

An Azure container instance is a collection of containers that share a single host computer. The lifetime, resources, local network, and storage volumes are all shared among the containers in the group.

You can now monitor your container instances, get precise analytics, set thresholds, automate operations, and stay on top of outages with Site24x7's integration.

Setup and configuration

You can add an Azure container instance while adding a new monitor or you can add it to an existing Azure monitor. Follow these steps to add the service.
