Licensing of Microsoft 365 Monitors in Applications Manager

1. In Applications Manager, a Microsoft 365 monitor (representing the overall tenant) is treated as a basic parent monitor and consumes 1 license.
2. When configuring the Microsoft 365 monitor, you can enable monitoring for individual Microsoft 365 services such as: Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams
3. Each of these services is considered a child monitor under the Microsoft 365 tenant, and each child service will also consume 1 license.

Licensing details

1. 1 tenant = 1 Microsoft 365 monitor = 1 basic monitor = 1 license
2. For each of the selected services (Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams), a child monitor will be created automatically.
   
3. Each child monitor is treated as a basic monitor and consumes 1 license each.

Example

1. Suppose a user adds a Microsoft 365 monitor for a single tenant and enables all three services - Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Microsoft Teams. In this case:
1. Microsoft 365 monitor = 1
   
2. Exchange Online = 1
   
3. SharePoint Online = 1
   
4. Microsoft Teams = 1
   
5. Total monitors counted = 4 basic monitors (4 licenses).
   
   
2. If the user enables only Exchange Online and SharePoint Online. In this case:
1. Microsoft 365 monitor = 1
   
2. Exchange Online = 1
   
3. SharePoint Online = 1
   
4. Total monitors counted = 3 basic monitors (3 licenses).
   

Notes:

1. The Microsoft 365 monitor count is not affected by the number of users, mailboxes, SharePoint sites, or Teams under a tenant.
2. Only one child monitor per service is created, regardless of how many underlying resources (e.g., mailboxes, sites, or teams) are present.
3. If you add multiple Microsoft 365 tenants, licenses will be consumed per tenant and per selected service.
