AVD failures: found from the ticket wave versus alerted from the logs first
Before: AVD connection failures are silent and you hear about them from a wave of tickets twenty minutes later. After: a Log Analytics alert catches the failure in the logs and emails the AVD admins before the tickets pile up.
