products that they are going to launch in near future. One of it was public preview of Azure Monitor for VMs. According to
Microsoft, users can view Health, Performance, Dependencies of a VM easily.
How to access?
To view details about Azure VMs just navigate to your Azure VM blade. From there users can check single VM. Also users can check the deployment statuses that all the VMs behaving as expected.
Features of Azure Monitor for VMs
- Show up the VM health and availability of VMs
- Visualize the understand trends of VM resource utilization together with guest-level performance issues Troubleshoot.
- Keep checking, back-end VM dependencies connections, and determine customers who are going to affect by issues.
- Keep track of resource utilizing, Connections, an health of VMs hotspots
VM Health
This model includes the out of the box configurable VM Health criteria. Microsoft also using the same health modeling services internally.
This feature shows some main points like VM availability status (Normal / Warning/ Critical), VMs which report health issues by resource type or OS. Health status of Disk, CPU, network adapters and memory details. The best part is near-real time alerts, which is user can configure easily.
