Public Preview: Metrics Usage Insights

Announcing the Public Preview of ‘[metrics usage insights](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/metrics/metrics-usage-insights?tabs=portal)’, a feature currently designed for [Azure Managed Prometheus](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/metrics/prometheus-metrics-overview#azure-monitor-managed-service-for-prometheus) users which will analyze all metrics ingested in [Azure Managed Workspace (AMW)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/metrics/azure-monitor-workspace-overview), surfacing actionable insights to optimize your observability setup. Metrics usage insights is built to empower teams with the visibility and tools the organizations need to manage observability costs effectively. It empowers customers to pinpoint metrics that align with their business objectives, uncover areas of unnecessary spend by identifying unused metrics, and sustain a streamlined, cost-effective monitoring approach. Metrics usage insights sends usage data to a [Log Analytics Workspace (LAW)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/logs/log-analytics-workspace-overview) for analysis. This is a free offering, and there is no charge associated for the data sent to the Log Analytics workspace, storage or queries. Customers will be guided to enable the feature as part of the standard out of the box experience during new AMW resource creation. For existing AMWs this can be configured using diagnostic settings.
