Azure Monitoring

Log Analytics, alerts, and dashboards for your Azure environment. Proactive monitoring instead of reactive firefighting.

Your Azure Environment Is Flying Blind


Most mid-market Azure environments run without structured monitoring. Outages are noticed only when users complain. Costs rise because nobody watches resource consumption. Compliance evidence is missing because no logs are archived.


Azure Monitor provides everything: platform metrics (free), Log Analytics, alerts with dynamic thresholds, workbooks. But without structured configuration, most features remain deactivated. 84% of organizations struggle with cloud costs without systematic monitoring.

3 steps. From start to finished project

How a typical Microsoft project runs with DAMALO

STEP 1

Choose a blueprint and analyze your environment

Select a proven blueprint. AI agents pull your licenses, current config, and compliance needs into the plan. No generic advice.

STEP 2

Receive your plan and start implementation

Review the plan. AI agents draft architecture, sequence tasks, and map dependencies to Microsoft best practices. Tailored to your tenant.

STEP 3

Guided implementation through to completion

Execute step by step. AI agents provide PowerShell scripts, admin center deep-links, and walkthroughs. Every change auto-documented.

The result: A completed Microsoft project in 1-2 weeks. Documented. Audit-ready. Understood by your team. Adjustable at any time. No change requests. No follow-up engagements.

Assessment MS VDI

Microsoft 365

Azure

Problem: VMware price increases, aging RDS infrastructure, and remote work demands. Azure Virtual Desktop or Windows 365 — without a structured assessment, the wrong choice is made.

Scope: User persona analysis and application compatibility - Network readiness and latency measurement - Cost modeling: AVD vs. Windows 365 vs. hybrid - Decision matrix and migration roadmap

Result: Data-driven decision basis for the right VDI strategy — with cost comparison and migration roadmap.

Security

Problem: Azure environments grow fast but governance lags behind. No tagging strategy, no budget alerts, too many owner roles. 20-40% of Azure spend is typically wasted.

Scope: FinOps analysis: costs, savings plans, orphaned resources - RBAC audit: privileged roles, least privilege - Policy compliance and Azure Advisor baseline - Prioritized action plan with quick wins

Result: Transparent Azure costs, cleaned-up permissions, and documented governance baseline with concrete savings potential.

Azure

Problem: Company knowledge sits in SharePoint, file shares, and databases — but nobody finds it. 20% employee turnover means knowledge is lost when people leave.

Scope: Use case definition and data preparation - Azure AI Search index with hybrid search and semantic ranking - RAG pattern with Azure OpenAI implementation - Security and evaluation setup

Result: AI-powered chat that searches company documents and answers precisely — with source citations and access control.
