# What is monitored by Azure Monitor?
14+
This article describes the different applications and services that are monitored by Azure Monitor.
15+
16+
## Insights and core solutions
17+
Core insights and solutions are considered part of Azure Monitor and follow the support and service level agreements for Azure. They are supported in all Azure regions where Azure Monitor is available.
18+
19+
### Insights
20+
21+
Insights provide a customized monitoring experience for particular applications and services. They collect and analyze both logs and metrics.
22+
23+
| Insight | Description |
24+
|:---|:---|
25+
| [Application Insights](app/app-insights-overview.md) | Extensible Application Performance Management (APM) service to monitor your live web application on any platform. |
26+
| [Azure Monitor for Containers](insights/container-insights-overview.md) | Monitors the performance of container workloads deployed to either Azure Container Instances or managed Kubernetes clusters hosted on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). |
27+
| [Azure Monitor for Cosmos DB (preview)](insights/cosmosdb-insights-overview.md) | Provides a view of the overall performance, failures, capacity, and operational health of all your Azure Cosmos DB resources in a unified interactive experience. |
28+
| [Azure Monitor for Networks (preview)](insights/network-insights-overview.md) | Provides a comprehensive view of health and metrics for all your network resource. The advanced search capability helps you identify resource dependencies, enabling scenarios like identifying resource that are hosting your website, by simply searching for your website name. |
29+
[Azure Monitor for Resource Groups (preview)](insights/resource-group-insights.md) | Triage and diagnose any problems your individual resources encounter, while offering context as to the health and performance of the resource group as a whole. |
30+
| [Azure Monitor for Storage (preview)](insights/storage-insights-overview.md) | Provides comprehensive monitoring of your Azure Storage accounts by delivering a unified view of your Azure Storage services performance, capacity, and availability. |
31+
| [Azure Monitor for VMs (preview)](insights/container-insights-overview.md) | Monitors your Azure virtual machines (VM) and virtual machine scale sets at scale. It analyzes the performance and health of your Windows and Linux VMs, and monitors their processes and dependencies on other resources and external processes. |
32+
33+
### Core solutions
34+
35+
Solutions are based on log queries and views customized for a particular application or service. They collect and analyze logs only and are being deprecated over time in favor of insights.
36+
37+
| Solution | Description |
38+
|:---|:---|
39+
| [Agent health](insights/solution-agenthealth.md) | Analyze the health and configuration of Log Analytics agents. |
40+
| [Alert management](platform/alert-management-solution.md) | Analyze alerts collected from System Center Operations Manager, Nagios, or Zabbix. |
41+
| [Service Map](insights/service-map.md) | Automatically discovers application components on Windows and Linux systems and maps the communication between services. The same functionality is provided in |
42+
43+
44+
45+
## Azure services
46+
The following table lists Azure services and the data they collect into Azure Monitor.
47+
48+
- Metrics - The service automatically collects metrics into Azure Monitor Metrics.
49+
- Logs - The service supports diagnostic settings which can collect platform logs and metrics to Azure Monitor Logs.
50+
- Insight - There is an insight available for the service which provides a customized monitoring experience for the service.
