 # Monitoring Azure Backup workloads
 
-Azure Backup provides multiple backup solutions based on the backup requirement and infrastructure topology (On-premises vs Azure). Any backup user or admin should see what's going on across all solutions and can expect to be notified in important scenarios. This article details the monitoring and notification capabilities provided by Azure Backup service.

+Overview of alerts, jobs, security and usage are available by default in the **Overview** pane of Azure Business Continuity Center, Recovery Services Vault and Backup Vault.

 ## Protected and protectable items in Azure Business Continuity Center
 
 You can monitor all your protected and protectable items via Azure Business Continuity Center. Go to the **[Protected Items](../business-continuity-center/tutorial-view-protected-items-and-perform-actions.md)** blade in Azure Business Continuity Center to view your resources protected by one or more solutions and perform actions on them. Go to the **[Protectable resources](../business-continuity-center/tutorial-view-protectable-resources.md)** in Azure Business Continuity Center to view your resources that are not currently protected by any solution.
 
 ## Backup Items in Recovery Services vault
 
-You can monitor all your backup items via a Recovery Services vault. Navigating to the **Backup Instances** section in [Azure Business Continuity Center](../business-continuity-center/business-continuity-center-overview.md) opens a view that provides a detailed list of all backup items of the given workload type, with information on the last backup status for each item, latest restore point available, and so on.

You can also [view the list of backup instances in a Backup vault](manage-backup-vault.md#manage-backup-instances).
 
 >[!NOTE]
 >For items backed-up to Azure using DPM, the list will show all the data sources protected (both disk and online) using the DPM server. If the protection is stopped for the datasource with backup data retained, the datasource will be still listed in the portal. You can go to the details of the data source to see if the recovery points are present in disk, online or both. Also, datasources for which the online protection is stopped but data is retained,  billing for the online recovery points continue until the data is completely deleted.

 * If you need to monitor operational activities at scale, then **Backup Explorer** provides an aggregated view of your entire backup estate, enabling detailed drill-down analysis and troubleshooting. It's a built-in Azure Monitor workbook that gives a single, central location to help you monitor operational activities across the entire backup estate on Azure, spanning tenants, locations, subscriptions, resource groups, and vaults. [Learn more here](monitor-azure-backup-with-backup-explorer.md).
   * Use it to identify resources that aren't configured for backup, and ensure that you don't ever miss protecting critical data in your growing estate.
