Data Collection Rules

Data collection rules (DCRs) are sets of instructions supporting data collection in Azure Monitor. They provide a consistent and centralized way to define and customize different data collection scenarios. Depending on the scenario, DCRs specify such details as what data should be collected, how to transform that data, and where to send it.

Azure Monitor Data Collection Rules allow you to select what monitoring data you want to collect from which Resources and where you want that data to go.
