Azure Firewall
now includes the observed capacity metric — a new observability signal designed
to help administrators understand how their firewalls are scaling in practice.
Observed capacity tracks the number of capacity units actively utilized over
time, offering valuable insight into real-world scaling patterns and
performance behavior.
Key highlights:
- Validate setup: You can validate your prescaling or autoscaling setup is
performing as expected.
- Proactive alerting: Set alerts when usage near defined thresholds and
diagnose whether scaling keeps paced with demand
- Forecasting: Plan future capacity
needs using historical and current traffic trends
