Microsoft contains native container monitoring and health analysis solutions that can be accessed through the OMS. When we created our AKS cluster, we had the option to enable monitoring.

- Under Monitoring, you'll see three settings options:
- Insights
- Metrics
- Logs:
Let's explore each of these options.
