If a resource is up and running in Azure Stack, this is where the monitoring service opts in and provides general vital information. This is not the option to disable all your monitoring features for your environments. Your monitoring solutions provide an overall status of the resource itself and all services that are being provided by that service (for example, a VM providing email or database services). It is more than worth it to have it up and running too. The monitoring features of Azure Stack itself will be described later in this book.
