+# Monitor Azure Managed Grafana using Azure Monitor's metric chart
+
+In this article, you learn how to leverage Azure Monitor's metric chart feature to monitor an Azure Managed Grafana workspace. 
+
+In Azure Monitor, metrics are a series of measured values and counts that are collected and stored over time. These metrics reflect the health and usage statistics of your Azure resources.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- An Azure account with an active subscription. [Create an account for free](https://azure.microsoft.com/free).
+- An Azure Managed Grafana workspace. If you don't have one yet, [create an Azure Managed Grafana instance](./quickstart-managed-grafana-portal.md) 
+
+## Supported metrics
+
+The following metrics are available for the Microsoft.Dashboard/grafana resource type.
+
+* *HttpRequestCount*: The number of HTTP requests to the Azure Managed Grafana server.
+* *MemoryUsagePercentage*: The Azure Managed Grafana workspace memory usage in percent.
+
+For more details about supported metrics, go to [Supported metrics for Microsoft.Dashboard/grafana](/azure/azure-monitor/reference/supported-metrics/microsoft-dashboard-grafana-metrics).
+
+## Create a metric chart
+
+These metrics can be accessed from your Azure Managed Grafana workspace, from Azure Monitor, and through the Azure Monitor API. The following section details how to create a metric chart in an Azure Managed Grafana workspace, in the Azure portal.
+
+1. Open a Managed Grafana resource and go to **Monitoring** > **Metrics**.
+1. Configure your chart:
+    * The scope and metric namespace are prepopulated.
+    * Select a metric from the list.
+    * Select an aggregation type along: count, average, min and max.
+    * Select the time range and granularity that are relevant for your investigation.
+
+   :::image type="content" source="media/monitoring-metrics/metric-chart.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the Azure platform showing a metric chart.":::
+
+1. Optionally create a new alert rule to be notified if the metric you configured exceeds or drops below a treshhold, or pin your dashboard to an Azure Dashboard, Grafana workspace or a Workbook.
