+## How to Monitor IOPS Scaling
+
+> How I know if the IOPS have scaled up or down when the server's using the autoscale IOPS feature? You can use the `metrics available in Azure Monitor`. 
+
+1. **Use Azure Monitor Metrics**:
+   - Go to your server in the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/)
+   - Go to the `Monitoring` section and select `Metrics`.

+   - Choose the ` Storage IO` metric (both percent and count).

+   - Set a `custom time range` to observe trends over time.
 
+2. **Look for Scaling Patterns**:
+   - If you see `sudden increases or decreases` in the IOPS metric that correlate with workload changes, this indicates that autoscale IOPS has adjusted the performance level.
+   - You can also monitor `IO utilization percentage` to see how close your server is to its current IOPS limit.
+3. **Enable Alerts (Optional)**: You can set up `alerts` in Azure Monitor to notify you when IOPS usage crosses certain thresholds, which can help you track scaling events in real time.
