How is performance monitoring typically achieved in Azure Virtual Desktop?

Performance monitoring in Azure Virtual Desktop is typically achieved through Azure Monitor and built-in diagnostics tools. Azure Monitor is a comprehensive platform that provides various monitoring capabilities, enabling the collection, analysis, and visualization of telemetry data from Azure resources. This allows administrators to gain insights into performance metrics such as CPU usage, memory utilization, disk I/O, and network traffic.

Built-in diagnostics tools within Azure provide critical logs and metrics, facilitating tracking of user sessions, application performance, and infrastructure health. These capabilities enable proactive management, helping identify and resolve performance issues before they impact end users.

In contrast, on-premises hardware monitoring tools may not be suitable for a cloud-based environment like Azure, as they are tailored for local infrastructure and do not have the capability to monitor cloud resources effectively. Collecting user feedback periodically can provide valuable insights, but it is not a systematic method for performance monitoring and lacks the granularity of data that Azure Monitor provides. Third-party cloud monitoring solutions might be useful, but using Azure's built-in tools is often more seamless and integrates better with Azure services, ensuring comprehensive oversight of the Azure Virtual Desktop environment.
