SAMPLE MONIT FILE FOR MONITORING A DAEMON HOW TO

The following sections identify common data to collect and how to configure data collection. When you configure VM insights, it creates a preconfigured DCR for you automatically. Other scenarios require you to edit a DCR directly. In some cases, the Azure portal walks you through the configuration. There are multiple methods to create DCRs depending on the data collection scenario. DCRs support other data collection scenarios in Azure Monitor, so all of your DCRs aren't necessarily for virtual machines. You can view the DCRs in your Azure subscription from Data Collection Rules on the Monitor menu in the Azure portal. DCRs are delivered to any machines they're associated with where Azure Monitor Agent processes them. A single machine can be associated with multiple DCRs, and a single DCR can be associated with multiple machines. The DCR can also use transformations to filter out unwanted data and to add calculated columns. Data collection rulesĭata collection from Azure Monitor Agent is defined by one or more data collection rules (DCRs) that are stored in your Azure subscription and associated with your virtual machines.įor virtual machines, DCRs define data such as events and performance counters to collect and specify the Log Analytics workspaces where data should be sent. To get started monitoring your first Azure virtual machine, see Monitor Azure virtual machines. This scenario describes how to implement complete monitoring of your Azure and hybrid virtual machine environment.
