Configure Endpoint Monitoring via 'new' azure portal - azure

I am reading the book Exam Ref 70-532 Developing Microsoft Azure Solutions, published in March 2015. In chapter one, it has a section "Configuring endpoint monitoring", where it gives you the steps to configure endpoint monitoring using both the Classic Management portal and the Preview portal.
Following the steps given, I am able to set up endpoint monitoring via the classic portal.
However, I cannot seem to do this via the new portal.
Here are the first two steps listed in the book:
Navigate to the blade of your website in the portal accessed via
https://portal.azure.com
Scroll down to Monitoring and click Webtests.
I cannot see any reference to "Monitoring" or "Webtests" on the azure portal for my website.
Has this functionality been removed from the preview portal?
Is there any way to configure endpoint monitoring via the new portal?

Web Application Endpoint Monitoring has been removed from Azure since October 31, 2016.
The new, replacement functionality is Application Insight Availability Tests
See this link for an article about migrating from Endpoint Monitoring to Application Insight Availability Tests.

These are also available in the Application Insights->Availability

How can I add static HTML pages in the Azure Developer Portal to display some documentation text?

I need to add pages (kind of static web pages) in Azure APIM Developer Portal to display documentation. Is there any tutorial to explain how to achieve it?
Is there a way I can read the text content from REST API calls and populate the pages in Dev portal?
I believe the issue is more or less similar to this where you are trying to update documentation properly at Azure Api Managment developer portal.
In that case, as mentioned in the thread, you can try with swagger but in APIM portal it might not work immediately. Microsoft product team has confirmed that they working on improvig support for OpenAPIv3. The ETA is about end of September.
However, you may also check the self-hosted gateway feature
The self-hosted gateway feature expands API Management support for hybrid and multi-cloud environments and enables organizations to efficiently and securely manage APIs hosted on-premises and across clouds from a single API Management service in Azure.

Azure cloud service deployment issue with pay as you go subscription - cloud services are not available in this subscription

I am having an issue while deploying an Azure web role to a cloud service. It shows me the error
Cloud services are not available in this subscription.
I am using a pay as you go subscription on Azure. I don't know if there is any limitation with this subscription for cloud service deployment or not.
.
Updated version of JerryGoyal's solution.
Cloud Service Management will have to be done using the new Azure Portal, because Cloud Service Management in the old portal will be disabled as of 11/15/2017.
Log into the new Azure Portal.
Go to the Subscriptions View.
Set your account as a Co-Admin. Microsoft Documentation.
I think the issue you're running into is that the Cloud Service Publish Wizard in VS only supports subscriptions in which you are an admin or co-admin granted via via the old portal (manage.windowsazure.com). If you've been given access via RBAC or the new portal, then VS will not see the resources under those subscriptions.
To work around it, you can build the package using msbuild.exe and then upload it via the portal.
That help?
Cloud services are not available in this subscription
The error is caused because the Cloud Services still use the old deployment model that is based on Azure Service Management (ASM).
To deploy an ASM based component to Azure you need to be ‘co-admin’ for the subscription.
Right now you are ‘Owner’ on the new portal but this role only has impact on the new ARM based resources.
So, just ask your subscription admin to login to the old portal (https://manage.windowsazure.com) and make you co-administrator:
Login to the old portal
Click on Settings –> Administrators
Click on the Add button at the bottom
Enter the co-admin email address and click on the OK button.
After this reload your Visual Studio and the problem will be solved.

manage.windowsazure.com vs. portal.azure.com

What is the difference between these two portals and why? And when should I use which of them?
For example:
When I want to configure if/which Java version I want to use in a WebApp, in the "manage"-portal I only can choose between off and v1.7.0_51. In the "portal"-portal I can choose between off, v7 and v8.
Or, if I want to create a new Ubuntu-VM, in the "manage"-portal I can choose between v12.04, v14.04 and v15.04. In the "portal"-portal there is only v14.04.
As commented by Mike, manage.windowsazure.com is the current production Azure Portal while portal.azure.com is the preview portal which will eventually replace the production portal.
From an underlying technology perspective, there's one big difference between the production and preview portal. Production portal makes use of Azure Service Management API while the Preview portal makes use of Azure Resource Manager (ARM). Along with ARM API, you get Role-based access control (RBAC) that enables you to grant granular permissions on your Azure resources to your team members. In the production portal, there's only a concept of Subscription Administrator and Subscription Co-Administrator.
Not all services in Azure has been ported to make use of ARM API as of today and that's why you see only few services in the preview portal. Services that make use of ARM API (all the new services) will only show up the preview portal.
As to when to use what portal, just see the Azure services you need to manage. Based on how they can be managed, you will choose between production and preview portal. Also please note that functionality for a service may differ between portals even though it is present in both portals. That may be another criteria between choosing the portal.

Cloud Services in the New Azure Preview Portal (April 2014)

In the new Azure portal Preview (April 2014), I cannot find the existing cloud services that I can see in the old portal. In the new Browse menu there is a list of elements such as databases, websites ... etc. .. but no cloud services. So where are the cloud services? Thank you for the answer.
Cloud Services are not yet enabled in the new portal. Today only a limited set of features is available while the portal is still in developer preview phase, but expect to see additional Azure features being enabled soon. See http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/preview-portal/ for information about what features are available today, or http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/Windows-Azure/Azure-Preview-portal for a good walkthrough.

Where is the Windows Azure SQL Reporting Portal?

According to the MSDN documentation for Windows Azure SQL Reporting Services, the reporting portal is supposed to be accessible from the main Azure portal:
The Windows Azure Management Portal includes portals for Windows Azure SQL Database, SQL Reporting and other services available on Windows Azure. From the portal home page, click Reporting to launch the SQL Reporting management portal
This seems to be referring to the old Azure portal. At any rate, my portal doesn't have such a link. All I see are
web sites
vitual machines
cloud services
sql databases
storage
networks
service bus
media services
active directory
add-ons
settings
I've used the search feature to search the Azure portal, checked out my SQL Azure database server configuration, and generally poked around for quite a while but I can't find any way to get to the reporting portal. How can get there and/or activate this feature?
Windows Azure portal currently uses new HTML version. You have to switch to old Silverlight version.
To go back to the old portal, you have to click on your account (top right) and click on "Previous Portal"
EDIT
Previous portal option is no longer there. Windows Azure are preparing brand new portal. Similarly to the current one, it will be using HTML5 and JavaScript - not Silverlight technology.
