Public Preview: SQL Performance Monitoring for Azure SQL Database

Azure SQL DatabaseIn previewAzure update
The public preview of Microsoft-managed performance monitoring for Azure SQL Database is now available.  

You can now monitor Azure SQL Database without building custom collection scripts or correlating telemetry across disconnected tools. Built-in data collection sends performance telemetry from your databases to a Microsoft-managed telemetry pipeline for processing and storage.  

Resource-level and estate-wide dashboards help you identify performance trends, anomalies, and resource bottlenecks. Integration with Fabric Database Hub brings this telemetry into a unified, estate-level monitoring experience. For deeper analysis and custom visualizations, you can securely query your data with Kusto Query Language through an RBAC-protected Azure Data Explorer proxy endpoint.
