Description

I created Audit Trail in my database by overriding EF Core SaveChanges and SaveChangesAsync methods and storing if entity was Added, Removed, Edited, what columns where edited and what user did it.

However, I became aware of Azure Monitor, but I cannot find information is it possible to track changes made to records stored in selected errors using Azure Monitor instead of what I've done?
