The Azure CDN FrontDoor integration collects access logs and metrics from your CDN profiles. Once enabled, the SigNoz agent discovers CDN FrontDoor resources in your monitored resource groups and configures telemetry collection.
Getting started
Connect your Azure subscription first. See Azure One-Click Integrations for setup instructions.
Once connected:
- In SigNoz, navigate to Integrations > Microsoft Azure.
- Select CDN Profile from the left panel.
- Toggle Log Collection and Metric Collection on.
The agent deploys the necessary Event Hubs and diagnostic settings in the background. Data starts flowing within a few minutes. Navigate to Dashboards and open the CDN FrontDoor Overview dashboard to confirm metrics are appearing.

Dashboards
The integration includes a pre-built CDN FrontDoor dashboard. Pre-built dashboards are locked and cannot be edited. To customize, use Export JSON from the dashboard menu and import it as a new dashboard.
Key panels include:
- Request count, 4xx rate, and 5xx rate
- Total latency and origin latency
- Byte hit ratio and origin health percentage
- Request and response size
- WAF request count
- WebSocket connections
Next steps
- Create alerts to get notified on error rate spikes or latency increases
- Build custom dashboards to combine CDN metrics with application traces
