+# Ways to monitor Azure NetApp Files
+
+This article describes ways to monitor Azure NetApp Files.
+
+## Azure Activity log
+
+The Activity log provides insight into subscription-level events. For instance, you can get information about when a resource is modified or when a virtual machine is started. You can view the activity log in the Azure portal or retrieve entries with PowerShell and CLI. This article provides details on viewing the Activity log and sending it to different destinations.
+
+To understand how Activity log works, see [Azure Activity log](../azure-monitor/essentials/activity-log.md).
+
+For Activity log warnings for Azure NetApp Files volumes, see [Activity log warnings for Azure NetApp Files volumes](troubleshoot-volumes.md#activity-log-warnings-for-volumes).
+
+## Azure NetApp Files metrics 
+
+Azure NetApp Files provides metrics on allocated storage, actual storage usage, volume IOPS, and latency. By analyzing these metrics, you can gain a better understanding on the usage pattern and volume performance of your NetApp accounts.
+
+You can find metrics for a capacity pool or volume by selecting the **capacity pool** or **volume**. Then click **Metric** to view the available metrics.  
+
+For more information about Azure NetApp Files metrics, see [Metrics for Azure NetApp Files](azure-netapp-files-metrics.md).
+
+## Capacity utilization monitoring 
+
+It's important to monitor capacity regularly.  You can monitor capacity utilization at the VM level.  You can check the used and available capacity of a volume by using Windows or Linux clients. You can also configure alerts by using `ANFCapacityManager`.  
+
+For more information, see [Monitor capacity utilization](volume-hard-quota-guidelines.md#how-to-operationalize-the-volume-hard-quota-change).
