Monitoring Solution for Azure Virtual Machines

Question

Hi Community,

I want to set up monitoring for our VM's regarding CPU load, disk load, disk space and os restarts.

This is for multiple VM's in multiple subscriptions.

What would be the best approach and some steps please.

Answer 1

Azure Monitor for VMs includes a set of performance charts that target several key performance indicators (KPIs) to help you determine how well a virtual machine is performing. The charts show resource utilization over a period of time so you can identify bottlenecks, anomalies, or switch to a perspective listing each machine to view resource utilization based on the metric selected.

By using Azure Monitor for VMs health, you can actively monitor the availability and performance of a Windows or Linux guest OS.

Viewing the overall health state of an Azure VM and the underlying OS can be observed from two perspectives: directly from a VM, or across all VMs in a resource group from Azure Monitor.
