Status Monitor

When to choose a Status Monitor?

Consider a Business solution orchestrated using Azure Serverless components like Service Bus Queues, Logic Apps and Function Apps. The monitoring requirement here is to get a status update on all the resources at every one-hour interval. The status report should be shared with the team members through the Slack notification channel. To meet this requirement, what Serverless360 offers is a status monitor.
