Azure Virtual Machines - An Overview
The Azure Virtual Machines are monitored based on the parameters or the attributes listed below. These attributes provide information about the functioning of the Azure Virtual Machine. Using Applications Manager's Azure Virtual machines monitoring tool, you can also configure thresholds to the numerical attributes based on these details and get notified when the thresholds are violated.
Creating a new Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines monitor

Monitored Parameters
Navigate to the Category View by clicking the Monitors tab. Hover over 'Child Monitors' under Microsoft Azure in the Cloud Apps table, and then select the Virtual Machine monitor from the displayed tooltip. This action will display the bulk configuration view for Azure Virtual Machine in three tabs:
- Availability tab gives the Availability history for the past 24 hours or 30 days.
- Performance tab gives the Health Status and events for the past 24 hours or 30 days.
- List view enables you to perform bulk admin configurations.
Click on the monitor name to see all the server details listed. Following are the list of metrics monitored in Azure Virtual machines monitoring in their corresponding tabs:
Note: In the Edit Monitorpage, users can choose their preferred mode of Data collection. Data collection for the following metrics is done via the following methods:
- Agents Type: Option to choose the mode of monitoring agent metrics.
- Azure Monitor Agent: Data Collection via Azure Monitor APIs by configuring metrics through Data Collection Rule (Supported from v171400).
- Diagnostic agent: Data Collection via Storage Table APIs.
- When fetching Diagnostic Agent metrics in Azure VM Monitor, applications with a Reader role for monitoring will face certain constraints. The Contributor role is mandatory for the Diagnostic Agent.
- Diagnostic Agent metrics can be collected from Storage accounts in both public and private links, as long as the storage account is accessible from the machine where Applications Manager is installed. For additional information, please refer to this link.
- Default options:
- For Azure Global Cloud Monitors - Azure monitor agent (Recommended)
- For Azure Government & Azure China Cloud Monitors - Diagnostic agent, as fetching Performance Counters via 'Azure Monitor Metrics' destination using the Azure Monitor Agent is not supported in Azure Government Cloud and Azure China
- Enable Guest OS Monitoring: This option prompts for the virtual machine's username (discovered automatically) and password. Guest OS monitoring is supported only for Windows VMs and the Windows installation of Applications Manager.
- Use Public IP : This option must be enabled to use public IP to connect to Azure VM and fetch Guest OS metrics. By default, this option will be unchecked and private IP will be used. This option is not supported from Applications Manager version 175800, as we have upgraded to a new option Connection Type.
- Connection type : The option allows to select the method of connection when accessing the Azure VM to retrieve Guest OS metrics. This option is supported from Applications Manager version 175800.
| Mode of monitoring | Data collection method | Required Privileges |
|---|---|---|
| Azure monitor | Via Azure APIs | --- |
Azure Agents | Azure monitor agent - Via Azure APIs by deploying Data Collection Rule resource. | Azure monitor agent should be installed for the virtual machines by deploying the Data Collection Rule Resource. (Supported from Applications Manager v171400) |
| Diagnostic agent- Via Storage Table APIs | Diagnostic Agent should be enabled for the virtual machines. (Windows and Linux) | |
| Guest OS | Via PowerShell scripts | PowerShell remoting should be enabled. |
