Azure Cloud Solutions Architect Program

Let’s look at how to use Azure to monitor the health and performance of our virtual machines and their workloads. First, we have to configure Azure Monitor to monitor virtual machines, which includes enabling VM insights and enabling each virtual machine for monitoring. Then, we can analyze those trends and even set up alerts to get notified of critical issues. 

We can monitor the different types of machines with Azure monitor using the same process. These machines are:

* Azure VMs
* Azure VM Scale Sets
* Hybrid VMs

Visualize Azure VMs monitoring using different monitoring tools.
