Configuring Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines in the TrueSight or Central Monitoring Administration console
This topic provides information about configuring PATROL for Microsoft Azure in the Central Monitoring Administration and TrueSight console.
To configure the KM, set the following preferences on the Add Monitoring Configuration dialog.
Monitoring Solution | Monitor Profile | Monitor Type |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines | Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines | Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines |
Click Add to add the Azure Account details.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Azure Accounts | |
| Azure Label | Enter a display name that identifies this set of Azure monitoring configuration. A top-level container is created with this display name. This container holds all the monitored Azure resources. For example, BMC-Prod or BMC-Test. Input must match '^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$' regular expression pattern. |
| Tenant ID | Enter the tenant ID of the Azure Active Directory. For more information, see Prerequisites for configuring Azure instance. |
| Application ID | Enter the application ID of the Web app/API application that you have created in the Microsoft Azure portal. For more information, see Prerequisites for configuring Azure instance. |
| Application Key | Enter the client secret of the application that you created in the Azure portal. For more information, see Prerequisites for configuring Azure instance. |
| Select Services | |
| Virtual Machine | Select this option to enable Virtual Machine monitoring. The KM monitors memory, disk, process, remote calls, and network usage of the virtual machines. Virtual Machine monitoring is enabled by default. Note: Diagnostic must be enabled for Virtual Machines. Microsoft Azure enables diagnostic Agent for each Resource Manager virtual machine and disables the basic metrics by default. Corresponding monitor types Note: The Azure Virtual Machine monitor type represents Resource Manager virtual machines. |
| Virtual Machine Scale Set | Select this option to enable Virtual Machine Scale Set monitoring. The KM monitors the network, disk, and CPU usage metrics of the Virtual Machine Scale Set Host and Instance. Virtual Machine Scale Set monitoring is enabled by default. Corresponding monitor types |
| Azure Endpoint Details | |
| Login Endpoint | Enter the Login Endpoint for the cloud from which you want to monitor the resources. For example, login.microsoftonline.de for German Endpoint. For more information about German Endpoint refer to the Microsoft Azure Germany developer guide. Similarly, for information about Endpoint details of other Azure Clouds, refer Microsoft documentation. The KM connects to the default global endpoint if this field is left blank. |
| Management Endpoint | Enter the Management Endpoint for the cloud from which you want to monitor resources. For example, management.microsoftazure.de for German Endpoint. For more information about German Endpoint, refer to the Microsoft Azure Germany developer guide. Similarly, for information about Endpoint details of other Azure Clouds, refer Microsoft documentation. The KM connects to the default global endpoint if this field is left blank. |
| Storage Endpoint Suffix | Enter the Storage Endpoint Suffix for the cloud from which you want to monitor resources. For example, core.cloudapi.de for German StorageEndpointSuffix. T For more information about German Endpoint, refer to the Microsoft Azure Germany developer guide. Similarly, for information about Endpoint details of other Azure Clouds, refer Microsoft documentation. The KM connects to the default global endpoint if this field is left blank. |
| Object Filtering Details | |
| Subscription Filter | Enter the subscription ID (as seen on the Microsoft Azure portal) or a regular expression to filter subscription IDs. |
| Subscription Filter Type | Select whether to Include or Exclude the subscription ids from monitoring. |
| Resource Group Filter | Enter the resource group name (as seen on the Microsoft Azure portal) or a regular expression to filter the resource groups. |
| Resource Group Filter Type | Select whether to Include or Exclude the resource groups from monitoring. |
| Virtual Machine Filter | Enter the virtual machine name (as seen on the Microsoft Azure portal) or a regular expression to filter the virtual machines. |
| Virtual Machine Filter Type | Select whether to Include or Exclude the virtual machines from monitoring. |
| Administration | |
| JVM Arguments | Enter additional JVM arguments. |
| Enable Debug | |
| Enable Debug | Select this check box to enable KM debug. The log file is created at <PATROL_HOME>\paf\log directory on the PATROL Agent server. |
Enter the administration details before you save the configuration.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| JAVA Home | By default, the KM uses Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that is installed in the PATROL_HOME directory. To use your own JRE that is installed in a different location, specify the path for the Java home directory. For example, if your Java executable exists in the /usr/java/jdk1.8.0/jre/bin/java path, specify /usr/java/jdk1.8.0/jre as the value of this field. |
| Enable Device Mapping | By default, when device mapping is enabled, all monitored Azure instances are displayed as a device on the Monitoring > Devices page. When device mapping is disabled, monitored information is shown under PATROL Agent. It saves you extra clicks to navigate the PATROL Agent hierarchy while viewing monitoring results. Clear this check box to disable device mapping. Note: If you modify this setting after KM discovery, restart the PATROL Agent to apply the changes. |
| Proxy Server Configuration | |
| Use Proxy Configuration | Select the check box to enable the proxy configuration. Notes:
|
| Server Name | Enter the name or the IP address of the proxy server that is being used to route the HTTP request. |
