Azure Batch Account Monitoring Integration
An Azure Batch account is typically linked to a storage account. In a single Batch account, you can run several Batch workloads. You can also split your workloads into Batch accounts in different Azure regions that are part of the same subscription.
With Site24x7's integration, you can now monitor your Batch account, configure thresholds, and receive alerts about critical issues.
