As Azure Storage is one of the most important services in Azure, proper monitoring and understanding of issues surrounding it may be crucial for your system to be stable and efficient. In this section, we will cover the best way to monitor storage accounts (and SaaS in general) so that you can implement the solution suited to your requirements. This solution should be one that performs well in terms of maintenance and complexity.
To perform this exercise, you will need a storage account. You can use Azure PowerShell, the Azure portal, or the Azure CLI for that, depending on your expertise and what you are used to. To create an account with the Azure CLI, run the following command:
$ az storage account create --resource-group "<rg-name>" --name "<account-name>"
The same can be done with Azure PowerShell:
New-AzureRmStorageAccount -Location <location> -Name <name> -ResourceGroupName <rg-name> -SkuName <...
