Public Preview: SQL performance monitoring for Azure SQL Managed Instance

The public preview of Microsoft-managed performance monitoring for Azure SQL Managed Instance is now available. 

Customers monitoring business-critical SQL Managed Instance workloads often rely on custom scripts and disconnected monitoring tools. This requires them to manage telemetry infrastructure and manually correlate performance insights across their SQL Managed Instance estate. 

The new experience collects and stores performance telemetry and provides resource-level and at-scale dashboards to help identify performance trends, anomalies, and resource bottlenecks. For deeper analysis and custom visualizations, you can securely query their monitoring data using Kusto Query Language (KQL) through an RBAC-protected Azure Data Explorer proxy endpoint.
