Azure App Service Slots Monitoring Integration
Azure App Service slots enable you to run your apps using diverse environments exposed through openly available endpoints.
With Site24x7's integration, you can now monitor your App Service slots, configure thresholds, and receive alerts about critical issues.

Threshold configuration
Global configuration
- Go to the Admin section in the left navigation pane.
- Select Configuration Profiles from the left pane and choose the Threshold and Availability (+) tab from the drop-down menu. Click Add Threshold Profile from the top-right corner.
- Select Azure App Service Slots as the monitor type. You can now set the threshold values for all the metrics mentioned above.
Monitor-level configuration
- Go to Cloud > Azure and select Azure App Service Slots from the drop-down menu.
- Choose a resource for which you would like to set a threshold, then click the hamburger icon
. Select Edit, which will direct you to the Edit Azure App Service Slots Monitor page. - You can set the threshold values for the metrics by selecting Threshold and Availability. You can also configure IT Automation at the attribute level.
IT Automation
Site24x7 offers a set of exclusive IT Automation tools to auto-resolve performance degradation issues. These tools react to events proactively rather than waiting for manual intervention.
