Monitoring the health of Service Fabric Cluster

Question

I have a customer who is interested in running their application built on Service Fabric Cluster in Production. The customer is interested in knowing what monitoring and alerting tools are available today which can monitor the health of the Service Fabric Cluster. My research so far has shown only diagnostic log files that can be used for troubleshooting. Are there any other tools that can help with Monitoring and Alerting for Service Fabric?

The deployment will be on Azure, so if there are specific tools on Azure that could be availed, we are open to that option.
