Azure Service Bus Dead-Letter Queue Monitoring

Azure Service Bus, a cloud-based messaging service, facilitates communication between applications and services. Within Azure Service Bus queues and topic subscriptions, there exists an additional sub-queue known as a Azure Service Bus dead-letter queue (DLQ). The Dead-Letter Queue (DLQ) serves as a storage area for messages that the receiving application from the main queue cannot deliver or process successfully. These messages are referred to as “dead-lettered” messages.

How to perform end-to-end message failure tracking in Azure?

When an application is built with distributed Azure Integration services, it becomes essential to end-to-end track message request flow to detect failures and isolate faulty services. Traditionally, this is done manually by going through hundreds of failure logs in Log Analytics by the developers, which kills their productivity. Also, the Application Map feature in Application Insights provides an oversimplified version of the topology map of the application. For instance, tracking the complete data flow in Azure Durable Functions is impossible.
