## Overview
NGINXaaS previously supported monitoring using [Custom Metrics](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/metrics/metrics-custom-overview). Custom metrics is a preview feature in Azure and support for it will be dropped in the future. We have added support for Platform metrics which is the Azure recommended way for monitoring resources, we strongly recommend you to migrate your deployments monitoring to use Platform metrics to take advantage of reduced latency and higher reliability.
