Select Apply to save your configuration.

Once you add the service to monitoring, you can view the service metrics in your Dynatrace environment either on your dashboard page or on the custom device overview page.

Import preset dashboards
Dynatrace provides preset Azure dashboards that you can import from GitHub to your environment's Dashboards page. Note: To save a preset dashboard locally, create a new JSON file on your local machine and copy-paste the content of the JSON file from GitHub into the new file.
Once you save a preset dashboard locally, there are two ways to import it.
Select Dashboards from the navigation menu and choose your dashboard (or create a new one by selecting Create Dashboard).
On your dashboard, select Edit > Settings >Advanced settings > Dashboard JSON.
Copy the whole ID row from the Dashboard JSON file as shown in the image below.
Select Upload to choose and upload the dashboard JSON file that you want to use in your Dynatrace environment.
In the editor of the imported JSON file, paste the ID row right after the opening bracket, on the second row of the Dashboard JSON, as shown below.
Search for the owner parameter and replace the empty value with the email address that is used for your Dynatrace subscription. Or, if the owner parameter is missing, add it as shown below.
Note: The name you selected for the new dashboard will be overwritten with the name of the preset dashboard. To modify the name, edit the JSON file by replacing the value of the name parameter with your desired dashboard name.
