Dependency Agent Alternatives
Hello. The retirement notice for the Azure Dependency Agent (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/vm/vminsights-maps-retirement) recommends selecting an Azure Marketplace product as a replacement but is not specific about what product(s) offer similar functionality. Would appreciate more specific guidance and experiences from the wider community. Thanks.
