Virtual machine scale set insights from Azure Monitor

In October 2018  VM scale sets from within the scale set resource blade. This update includes several enhancements:

• In-blade monitoring for your scale set with “Top N”, aggregate, and list views across the entire scale set.


• Drill down experience to identify issues on a particular scale set instance.


• Updated mapping UI to display the entire dependency diagram across your scale set while supporting drill down maps for a single instance.


• UI based enablement of monitoring from the scale set resource blade.


• Updated examples for enabling monitoring using Azure Resource Manager templates.


• Use of policy to enable monitoring for your scale set.

Getting started

If you’re running VM scale sets you can use the performance and map capabilities from the “Insights (preview)” menu on the scale set resource blade to find resource constraints and visualize dependencies.

To get started, go to the resource blade for your VM scale set and click on “Insights (preview)” in the monitoring section. When you click “Try now” you’ll be prompted to choose a log analytics workspace, or we can generate one for you. You can view your resources at scale in Azure Monitor under “Virtual Machines (preview)” and on-board to entire resource groups and subscriptions using Azure Policy or using Powershell.
