Azure Dashboard - You have not configured a web endpoint for monitoring.

Question

I've a asp.net website deployed to azure. On management portal dashboard I noticed below:

web endpoint status PREVIEW

You have not configured a web endpoint for monitoring.

I also noticed a Monitor tab next to Dashboard which shows monitoring information.

Question: I'm not understanding, why the above message is shown in Dashboard for web end point status Preview.

Could someone please clarify what is the purpose of the option and it's differences from monitoring tab.

Thank you.
