-**Azure Monitor tab in firmware analysis**: For each of your workspaces, you can now use Azure Monitor to track the latency of firmware analysis (how long the analysis took) and any failures or errors that occurred during analysis. To access Azure Monitor for firmware analysis, search for "firmware analysis workspaces" in the Azure portal search bar, then navigate to your workspace, and expand the "Monitoring" tab to access "Metrics". With Azure Monitor, you can visualize your data with graphs, scatter plots, histograms, and more.
