All the monitors in Serverless360 can now be configured to check multiple entities as a group. Entities can be monitored at property level against desired values and alerts can be triggered to different notification channels like Slack, Microsoft Teams, Webhook etc.
You can choose from the following 4 monitors based on your use case:
Data Monitor: Configure to get notified on efficiency or reliability or consumption of the Azure entities by monitoring their extensive list of metrics.
