Description

Azure Monitor VM Insights is now generally available using the Azure Monitor Agent. VM Insights provides a quick and easy method to monitor the client workloads on your Azure virtual machines and virtual machine scale sets as well as Azure Arc enabled servers running in an on-premises/multi-cloud environment.

If you had previously configured VM Insights using Log Analytics Agent (deprecated), refer to our migration guidance to move to Azure Monitor Agent. The new agent provides various benefits including cost savings, simplified management experience and enhanced security and performance.
