What does Emirtech's Azure Monitor and Log Analytics implementation cover?

Emirtech Technology is a systems integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) founded in 2018 and headquartered at Mussafah M44, Abu Dhabi (call +971 55 651 7843). We deploy and configure Microsoft Azure Monitor and Log Analytics as a unified observability stack for customers across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Scope includes Log Analytics workspace design (region, retention, daily-cap, table-level plans, commitment tiers), Azure Monitor Agent (AMA) rollout via Data Collection Rules (DCRs) to replace the legacy MMA/OMS agents, plus the full data-source set: VM Insights for guest-OS performance and dependency maps, Container Insights for AKS clusters, Application Insights for .NET, Java, Node.js and Python web apps (APM, live metrics, distributed tracing, availability tests), Network Insights, Storage Insights and platform metrics for App Service, SQL, Cosmos DB, Front Door and API Management. We build Azure Workbooks for capacity, cost-of-ingestion and SLA dashboards, configure metric, log, activity-log and Smart Detection alerts, and wire Action Groups into email, SMS, Teams, Logic Apps, ITSM connectors and webhook runbooks. KQL (Kusto Query Language) queries, parameterised workbook templates and ARM/Bicep export of the final state are handed over with the documentation pack. We are commercially deploying Azure Monitor via authorised UAE channels — we are not a Microsoft Solutions Partner-tier Infrastructure or Data & AI specialised partner, not Microsoft FastTrack-Ready, and we do not resell Microsoft licences. Cost guidance is provided honestly: Azure Monitor is billed pay-per-GB ingested (the same model as Microsoft Sentinel) and we right-size table plans, basic vs analytics logs, and retention to control spend.

Capabilities

Azure Monitor implementation building blocks

Log Analytics workspace design

Region selection, retention per table, daily cap, commitment-tier sizing, RBAC scope and workspace-vs-resource permissions configured so ingestion cost and access controls align with your Abu Dhabi operating model from day one.

Azure Monitor Agent (AMA) rollout

Data Collection Rules authored for Windows and Linux VMs, Arc-enabled servers and scale sets. Legacy MMA/OMS agents decommissioned cleanly so duplicate ingestion and double-billing are eliminated during cutover.

Application Insights APM

Auto-instrumentation or SDK integration for .NET, Java, Node.js and Python apps. Distributed tracing, live metrics, availability URL ping tests and dependency maps with sampling tuned to keep telemetry useful and affordable.

Workbooks, alerts and action groups

Parameterised Azure Workbooks for operations and capacity views, metric and log alerts with dynamic thresholds where appropriate, and action groups routing to email, SMS, Teams, ITSM connectors and Logic App runbooks.

Azure Monitor implementation checklist

From workspace design through KQL workbook handover, we deliver Azure Monitor and Log Analytics deployments tuned for the actual Azure footprint you run in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain — not a generic template. To request a free Azure Monitor consultation, call +971 55 651 7843.

Coverage

Telemetry sources and downstream integrations

Infrastructure telemetry

Azure VMs, VM Scale Sets, Azure Arc-enabled servers on-premises, AKS clusters, App Service, Functions, Storage, networking, Key Vault and Azure SQL — all funnelled into one Log Analytics workspace with consistent table schemas.

Application and platform logs

Application Insights for code-level APM, Azure activity log for control-plane events, resource diagnostic logs for data-plane events, and custom log ingestion for in-house apps via Logs Ingestion API or DCR custom tables.

Alerting and on-call

Action groups integrated with email, SMS, voice, Microsoft Teams, ITSM connectors (where licensed) and Logic App or webhook automation. Suppression rules and severity mapping documented to reduce on-call alert fatigue.

Dashboards and reporting

Azure Workbooks for operations and capacity views, pinned Azure dashboards for executive summaries, and Power BI export patterns documented for finance and capacity-planning conversations downstream.

Scope — what we deliver and explicitly do not

We publish scope transparently so procurement, IT and audit teams see exactly what an Emirtech Azure Monitor and Log Analytics engagement covers — and what falls outside it.

  • We deliver: Log Analytics workspace design, Azure Monitor Agent rollout via Data Collection Rules, VM/Container/Application/Network/Storage Insights enablement, KQL query authoring, Azure Workbooks, metric and log alerts, action groups, ARM/Bicep export and operations handover.
  • We do not deliver: Microsoft Sentinel SOC monitoring or 24/7 staffed SIEM operations (Sentinel deployment is a separate engagement; ongoing SOC monitoring is not in our service catalogue), bespoke Datadog/Splunk/Dynatrace/New Relic migrations, or custom ML model development on ingested logs.
  • We are not: a Microsoft Solutions Partner-tier specialised partner of any solution area (Modern Work, Security, Data & AI, Infrastructure, Business Applications, Digital & App Innovation) and we are not a Microsoft FastTrack-Ready Partner. We install and configure Azure Monitor commercially via authorised UAE channels.
  • We are not affiliated with: Microsoft Corporation, Microsoft Solutions Partner-tier Infrastructure / Data & AI partners, authorised Microsoft distributors in UAE, Datadog, Splunk Observability Cloud, Dynatrace, New Relic or Grafana Cloud.
  • Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are our priority areas, and in Dubai: smart home, PABX and IP-PBX phone systems, IT AMC and time attendance by scheduled on-site visits, gate barriers, ANPR, video intercoms and turnstiles by Emirtech itself, and CCTV, alarm and access control through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating; we do not mobilise to Sharjah or the Northern Emirates.
  • Licence procurement (Azure consumption, Microsoft Defender for Cloud plans, ITSM connector entitlements) is coordinated via the customer's existing CSP or Enterprise Agreement; Emirtech does not resell Microsoft licences.
  • We hold ADMCC approval for security systems only and Control4 installation through a third-party dealer; we do not hold SIRA, ISO 27001, NESA, ADHICS or PDPL certification, and we are not a 24/7 SOC operator.

If a requirement falls outside the published scope, we will say so before quoting and, where possible, refer you to an appropriately credentialed partner.

Common questions

FAQs

Is Emirtech a Microsoft Solutions Partner or FastTrack-Ready Partner for Azure Monitor?

No. Emirtech holds no manufacturer-level credential of its own, and its ADMCC approval covers security systems only. We deploy and configure Azure Monitor and Log Analytics commercially via authorised UAE channels, but we are not a Microsoft Solutions Partner-tier specialised partner of Infrastructure, Data & AI or any other solution area, and we are not a Microsoft FastTrack-Ready Partner. Microsoft licences are procured through your existing CSP or Enterprise Agreement.

What is the difference between Azure Monitor, Log Analytics and Microsoft Sentinel?

Azure Monitor is the unified observability platform (metrics, logs, traces, alerts). Log Analytics is the workspace and KQL query engine that stores log data. Microsoft Sentinel is the SIEM/SOAR product that sits on top of a Log Analytics workspace and adds security analytics, incidents, hunting and SOAR playbooks. Sentinel deployment is covered on a separate Emirtech page.

How is Azure Monitor cost calculated and how do you keep it under control?

Log Analytics is billed primarily on data ingested per GB and on retention beyond the included window. We size commitment tiers, set per-table retention, route low-value logs to Basic Logs or Archive tiers, enable filtering at the Data Collection Rule level, apply daily caps where appropriate and publish a cost-of-ingestion workbook so finance can monitor spend monthly.

Do you migrate from the legacy MMA/OMS agent to the Azure Monitor Agent (AMA)?

Yes. Microsoft retired the legacy Microsoft Monitoring Agent (MMA/OMS) in 2024. We audit existing agent installs, author Data Collection Rules for the equivalent telemetry, deploy AMA to Windows, Linux and Arc-enabled servers, validate parity, then decommission the legacy agent to avoid duplicate ingestion and double-billing.

Can you set up alerts that page our on-call team in Microsoft Teams and via SMS?

Yes. We configure Action Groups with email, SMS, voice call, Teams channel, ITSM connectors (where licensed) and webhook or Logic App targets. Alert rules use severity, suppression windows and where appropriate dynamic thresholds to reduce on-call noise, and the routing matrix is documented in the as-built pack.
