Monitoring the healthy hosts in your Azure Application Gateway is crucial for ensuring high availability, detecting potential issues, and optimizing application performance.

Purpose

The purpose of the Sprinto check for Azure Application Gateway healthy hosts is to actively monitor and alert on the count of healthy hosts in your application gateway. This monitoring helps you:

• Ensure High Availability: Monitor the number of healthy hosts to ensure your application remains available and responsive.

• Proactive Issue Detection: Receive alerts if the count of healthy hosts deviates from expected values, allowing you to address potential issues proactively.

• Optimize Application Performance: Understand the health of individual hosts to optimize the overall performance of your web applications.
