Monitor performance of virtual machines by using Azure Monitor VM Insights

Monitor performance of virtual machines by using Azure Monitor VM Insights

Evaluate Azure Monitor log tooling in your journey to improve the monitoring environment for your company. You'll deploy a Log Analytics workspace. After the Log Analytics workspace is ready, onboard VMs to the Log Analytics workspace and configure Azure Monitor VM Insights. To understand the types of data you can extract, build familiarity with the syntax of Azure Monitor log queries inside the Log Analytics workspace. When you feel comfortable with the structure, take preconfigured queries in a Log Analytics workspace and query performance of virtual machines by using the Kusto Query Language.
