*In-person* Unified Logging: Bringing Legacy Systems into Azure Monitor

Talk;

In a cloud-first world, many traditional software systems still rely on writing logs to disk, making centralised monitoring a challenge. This session explores how Azure Monitor and Data Collection Rules (DCRs) can bridge the gap, transforming fragmented on-prem logs into a unified, scalable observability solution.

We'll cover Bicep automation and best practices for ingesting logs from legacy applications—ensuring you don’t just collect logs but gain actionable insights from them. Whether you're dealing with virtual machines, file-based logs, or hybrid infrastructure, this talk will show you how to modernise your monitoring stack without rewriting your entire system.

TL;DR Still dealing with logs trapped on disk? Learn how Azure Monitor & DCRs can centralize legacy logs into a scalable cloud solution—without a full rewrite.

Join us at DevOps Notts to explore automation, Bicep, and real-world best practices!
