-          What is Azure Monitor?
-        answer: |
-          [Azure Monitor](overview.md) is a service in Azure that provides performance and availability monitoring for applications and services in Azure, other cloud environments, or on-premises. Azure Monitor collects data from multiple sources into a common data platform where it can be analyzed for trends and anomalies. Rich features in Azure Monitor assist you in quickly identifying and responding to critical situations that might affect your application.

-      - question: |
-          What's the difference between Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights?
-        answer: |
-          In September 2018, Microsoft combined Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights into a single service to provide powerful end-to-end monitoring of your applications and the components they rely on. Features in Log Analytics and Application Insights haven't changed, although some features have been rebranded to Azure Monitor to better reflect their new scope. The log data engine and query language of Log Analytics is now referred to as Azure Monitor Logs. See [Azure Monitor terminology updates](terminology.md).

-          Features of Azure Monitor that are automatically enabled, such as collection of metrics and activity logs, are provided at no cost. There's a cost associated with other features, such as log queries and alerting.

-      - question: |
-          How do I enable Azure Monitor?
-        answer: |
-          Azure Monitor is enabled the moment that you create a new Azure subscription, and [activity log](./essentials/platform-logs-overview.md) and platform [metrics](essentials/data-platform-metrics.md) are automatically collected. Create [diagnostic settings](essentials/diagnostic-settings.md) to collect more detailed information about the operation of your Azure resources, and add [monitoring solutions](/previous-versions/azure/azure-monitor/insights/solutions) and [insights](./monitor-reference.md) to provide extra analysis on collected data for particular services.

-      - question: |
-          How do I access Azure Monitor?
-        answer: |
-          Access all Azure Monitor features and data from the **Monitor** menu in the Azure portal. The **Monitoring** section of the menu for different Azure services provides access to the same tools with data filtered to a particular resource. Azure Monitor data is also accessible for various scenarios by using the Azure CLI, PowerShell, and a REST API.

-      - question: |
-          Is there an on-premises version of Azure Monitor?
-        answer: |
-          No. Azure Monitor is a scalable cloud service that processes and stores large amounts of data, although Azure Monitor can monitor resources that are on-premises and in other clouds.
-
-      - question: |
-          Can Azure Monitor also monitor on-premises resources?
-        answer: |
-          Yes. In addition to collecting monitoring data from Azure resources, Azure Monitor can collect data from virtual machines and applications in other clouds and on-premises. See [Sources of monitoring data for Azure Monitor](data-sources.md).

-      - question: |
-          Does Azure Monitor integrate with System Center Operations Manager?
-        answer: |
-          You can connect your existing System Center Operations Manager management group to Azure Monitor to collect data from agents into Azure Monitor Logs. This capability allows you to use log queries and solutions to analyze data collected from agents. You can also configure existing System Center Operations Manager agents to send data directly to Azure Monitor. See [Connect Operations Manager to Azure Monitor](agents/om-agents.md).
