Gain observability over your DHCP server with Azure Monitor. Ingest DHCP logs into Log Analytics workspace and visualize the data through Azure Workbooks for an easy search.

Gaining Observability on DHCP Server

Gaining observability on DHCP server is an important task for IT teams. It ensures that the network is running smoothly and efficiently. Microsoft Azure Monitor provides a powerful solution for this, allowing customers to ingest DHCP logs into Azure Monitor, store them in a Log Analytics workspace, and visualize the data through Azure Workbooks.

Ingesting DHCP Logs into Azure Monitor

The first step in gaining observability on DHCP server is to ingest the DHCP logs into Azure Monitor. This can be done by using the Windows Event Forwarding (WEF) feature. WEF allows customers to collect events from multiple sources and forward them to a central location, such as Azure Monitor. Once the logs are ingested, they can be stored in a Log Analytics workspace, where they can be queried and analyzed.

Visualizing Data with Azure Workbooks

Once the DHCP logs are stored in a Log Analytics workspace, customers can use Azure Workbooks to visualize the data. Azure Workbooks allows customers to create interactive dashboards that can be used to monitor and analyze the DHCP logs. The dashboards can be customized to show specific metrics, such as the number of DHCP requests, the number of successful requests, and the number of failed requests.

Key Benefits

Gaining observability on DHCP server with Azure Monitor provides several key benefits. It allows customers to quickly and easily monitor their DHCP servers, ensuring that the network is running smoothly and efficiently. It also allows customers to quickly and easily search for specific DHCP events, allowing them to quickly identify and resolve any issues. Finally, it provides customers with an interactive dashboard that can be used to monitor and analyze the DHCP logs.
