With Azure Monitor's free 5 GB of data/month/customer allowance, you can easily try this out for a server or two without worry of getting charged. This solution allows you to monitor server health and events, create email alerts, get a consolidated view of server performance across your environment, and visualize apps, systems, and services connected to a given server.ĭespite its name, VM insights works for physical servers as well as virtual machines.
When you set up Azure Monitor for VMs in server Settings, Windows Admin Center enables the Azure Monitor for VMs solution, also known as Virtual Machine insights. Azure Monitor for virtual machines (also known as Virtual Machine insights)
When you connect a server into a workspace, it automatically starts collecting data and reporting to solutions installed in that workspace.
If you connect to a different server, but have already setup a Log Analytics workspace (either through Windows Admin Center or manually in the Azure portal), you can also install the MMA agent on the server and connect it up to an existing workspace. WAC will additionally install any other necessary agents. If you want to add another monitoring solution from within Windows Admin Center on the same server, Windows Admin Center will simply install that solution into the existing workspace to which that server is connected.
Install the Update Management solution in the newly created workspace. Create the Log Analytics workspace and the Azure Automation account (since an Azure Automation account is necessary in this case). It will then install the corresponding solution into the workspace.įor instance, if you first go to the Updates tool to setup Azure Update Management, Windows Admin Center will: If you've never used Azure Monitor before, Windows Admin Center will automatically provision a Log Analytics workspace (and Azure Automation account, if needed), and install and configure the Microsoft Monitoring Agent (MMA) on the target server. You can get started using Azure Monitor from either of these tools. Azure Monitor for VMs (in server Settings), also known as Virtual Machines insights. Azure Update Management (in the Updates tool). How does Windows Admin Center enable you to use Azure Monitor?įrom within Windows Admin Center, you can enable two monitoring solutions: For example, Azure Update Management uses Azure Automation to schedule and orchestrate installation of updates across machines in your environment, centrally, from the Azure portal. Some solutions, like Azure Update Management, also depend on Azure Automation, which enables you to centrally manage resources across Azure and non-Azure environments. For example, Azure Monitor for VMs also depends on a ServiceMap agent for additional functionality that this solution provides. Certain monitoring solutions also require a secondary agent. To collect telemetry data on an on-premises server and push it to the Log Analytics workspace, Azure Monitor requires the installation of the Microsoft Monitoring Agent, or the MMA. When you enable a monitoring solution in a Log Analytics workspace, all the servers reporting to that workspace will start collecting data relevant to that solution, so that the solution can generate insights for all the servers in the workspace. For example, Azure Update Management, Azure Security Center, and Azure Monitor for VMs are all monitoring solutions that can be enabled within a workspace. Within a workspace, you can enable various monitoring solutions-sets of logic that provide insights for a particular scenario. How does Azure Monitor work?ĭata generated from on-premises Windows Servers is collected in a Log Analytics workspace in Azure Monitor. If you're interested to learn how you can use Azure Monitor to get email alerts about your hyper-converged cluster, read about using Azure Monitor to send emails for Health Service Faults. 
Though Azure Monitor pulls data from Azure virtual machines (VMs) and other Azure resources, this article focuses on how Azure Monitor works with on-premises servers and VMs, specifically with Windows Admin Center. Applies to: Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016Īzure Monitor is a solution that collects, analyzes, and acts on telemetry from a variety of resources, including Windows Servers and VMs, both on-premises and in the cloud.
