Monitoring your containers is critical, especially when you’re running a production cluster, at scale, with multiple applications. Currently in Preview, the Azure Monitor for Containers will automatically start to collect logs (std/stderr) on the containers running on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

This will provide you end-to-end monitoring on AKS Windows node pools with logs and metrics (which is already supported).

With Azure Monitor for containers you can:

• Identify AKS containers that are running on the node and their average processor and memory utilization. This knowledge can help you identify resource bottlenecks.
• Identify processor and memory utilization of container groups and their containers hosted in Azure Container Instances.
• Identify where the container resides in a controller or a pod. This knowledge can help you view the controller’s or pod’s overall performance.
• Review the resource utilization of workloads running on the host that are unrelated to the standard processes that support the pod.
• Understand the behavior of the cluster under average and heaviest loads. This knowledge can help you identify capacity needs and determine the maximum load that the cluster can sustain.
• Configure alerts to proactively notify you or record it when CPU and memory utilization on nodes or containers exceed your thresholds, or when a health state change occurs in the cluster at the infrastructure or nodes health rollup.
• Integrate with Prometheus to view application and workload metrics it collects from nodes and Kubernetes using queries to create custom alerts, dashboards, and detailed perform detailed analysis.
• Monitor container workloads deployed to AKS Engine on-premises and AKS Engine on Azure Stack.
• Monitor container workloads deployed to Azure Red Hat OpenShift.
