-## What is Azure Monitor?
-Azure Load Testing creates monitoring data using [Azure Monitor](../azure-monitor/overview.md), which is a full stack monitoring service in Azure. Azure Monitor provides a complete set of features to monitor your Azure resources. It can also monitor resources in other clouds and on-premises.
-
-Start with the article [Monitoring Azure resources with Azure Monitor](../azure-monitor/essentials/monitor-azure-resource.md), which describes the following concepts:
-
-- What is Azure Monitor?
-- Costs associated with monitoring
-- Monitoring data collected in Azure
-- Configuring data collection
-- Standard tools in Azure for analyzing and alerting on monitoring data
-
-The following sections build on this article by describing the specific data gathered for Azure Load Testing. These sections also provide examples for configuring data collection and analyzing this data with Azure tools.

 ## Collection and routing
 
+Platform metrics and the Activity log are collected and stored automatically, but can be routed to other locations by using a diagnostic setting. Resource Logs are not collected and stored until you create a diagnostic setting and route them to one or more locations.

 ### Sample Kusto queries
 
-
 > [!IMPORTANT]
-> When you select **Logs** from the Azure Load Testing menu, Log Analytics is opened with the query scope set to the current [service name]. This means that log queries will only include data from that resource. If you want to run a query that includes data from other [service resource] or data from other Azure services, select **Logs** from the **Azure Monitor** menu. See [Log query scope and time range in Azure Monitor Log Analytics](../azure-monitor/logs/scope.md) for details.
