Why is it important to monitor?

There are several reasons why it is essential to monitor a Power Platform application:

• Performance: Track the application’s performance and quickly detect and resolve issues, improving the user experience.
• Availability: Track whether the application is always available to users and respond fast if there are issues with availability.
• Security: Identify and track security issues, including breaches and attacks, better-protecting users’ data.
• The root cause of errors: Trace the root cause of errors in the application and resolve them, improving the reliability and stability of the application.
• Compliance: In some cases, monitoring may require to comply with regulations and data protection requirements.

In general, monitoring a Power Platform application is critical to ensure that it remains efficient, reliable, and secure and provides users with a fantastic experience.
