Description

Azure Monitor for virtual machines (VMs) now stores computer-related and process-related data in dedicated data types, making it simpler to query against as well as offering quicker data ingestion.

For the next few months, we’ll send data to the old tables in order to support migrating any workflows you have that use the ServiceMapComputer_CL and ServiceMapProcess_CL tables to make use of the new VMComputer and VMProcess tables. During this time, data stored in the old custom logs tables will be free.
