"Paradise by your dashboard light" - Make your dashboards work for you
Admit it, hardly anyone is using your out-of-the-box Azure dashboard, tucked away in some obscure resource group.
It's cool to be able to show the number of exceptions, DTU or CPU usage or how much you spend, but is it really that useful?
Stop right there!
These days, everyone knows how to create basic dashboards in Azure, but only few teams and organizations are truly leveraging the dashboarding potential of Azure.
Pieter will take you on a journey through monitoring, metrics, telemetry and KPIs, to show you how you can effectively create useful dashboards that work for you, your team and the business owners.
He will provide some valuable insights and examples for different audiences and scenarios, so that you can walk away from this session with a bag full of ideas to create dashboards that truly shine!
