Alert! Log threshold limits for your canvas app

External Blog Post

I explained in a previous blog post about getting more out of your monitoring of the Power Platform canvas app with custom logging.

Alerts are an important tool for monitoring your canvas app. When a custom log measure reaches a threshold limit, you can be notified through email or text message.

This allows you to quickly address any issues with the app before they become more serious problems. You can also set up alerts to notify you when certain events occur within your canvas app, such as new user sign ups or changes in usage patterns. Alerts help ensure that your users have the best possible experience using your canvas app and allow you to take immediate action if necessary.
