Camp 4: Monitoring & Observability

Reaching Observation Peak

Monitoring

Camp Details

Duration: 90 minutes
Azure Services: Log Analytics, Application Insights, Azure Monitor
Primary Risks: MCP08 (Lack of Audit and Telemetry)

What You'll Learn

At the final camp before the summit, you'll learn to see everything happening across your MCP infrastructure. Comprehensive monitoring and observability are essential for detecting attacks, troubleshooting issues, and maintaining compliance.

Learning Objectives

  • Implement comprehensive logging for MCP operations
  • Set up Log Analytics workspaces and queries
  • Build monitoring dashboards for real-time visibility
  • Configure intelligent alert rules
  • Detect security threats through log analysis

The Challenge

Without proper monitoring, attacks go unnoticed and issues remain hidden until they become crises. You'll experience the blindness of a system without telemetry, then build a comprehensive observability solution.

What You'll Build

  • Structured Logging

    Capture every critical event with rich, queryable logs

  • Real-Time Dashboards

    Visualize MCP server health, performance, and security metrics

  • Smart Alerting

    Get notified of security events and anomalies instantly

  • Threat Detection

    Identify attack patterns through log correlation and analysis

Coming Soon

Under Development

The final camp before the summit is taking shape! You'll soon learn:

  • The dangers of running blind without proper telemetry
  • Log Analytics workspace configuration and KQL queries
  • Application Insights integration for MCP servers
  • Building security-focused monitoring dashboards
  • Alert rule configuration and incident response
