Grafana Labs has introduced a new serverless feature for integrating Microsoft Azure metrics and logs into Grafana Cloud, eliminating the complex configuration previously required with Grafana Alloy. This feature utilizes a newly developed Azure Prometheus exporter, which automatically discovers resources and metrics, and uses the Azure Monitor Metrics Batch API to avoid rate limiting errors. It provides enhanced insights not available through Azure Monitor, such as metrics on Azure Virtual Networks and Event Hubs. Users can now onboard with less than 10 lines of Terraform code, benefiting from a simplified setup process. The serverless capability also supports exporting Azure logs into Grafana Cloud, enhancing security monitoring and allowing for customizable data processing. Grafana continues to support users preferring to manage Alloy and plans to open-source the new Azure Metrics exporter, alongside other upcoming features to enhance its Cloud Provider Observability solution, which supports AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
