Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) is one of several types of on-demand, scalable computing resources that Azure offers.
Typically, you choose a VM when you need more control over the computing environment than the other choices offer. An Azure VM gives you the flexibility of virtualization without buying and maintaining the physical hardware.
Setup
To set up the Azure integration and discover the Azure Virtual Machines resources, do the following:
- Create an Azure Integration, if not available in your installed integrations. For more information on how to install the Azure Integration, refer to Install Azure Integration.
- Create a discovery profile. For more information on how to create a discovery profile, refer to Create Discovery Profile.
- Select
Virtual machinesunder the Filter Criteria in the Edit Discovery Profile page.
Azure Integration Discovery Profile
- Save the discovery profile to make them available in the list of Discovery Profiles.
- Scan to discover the resources at any time independent of the predefined schedule.
- Once the scan is completed, you can view the Virtual machines resources under Infrastructure > Resources > Microsoft Azure category.
Event support
OpsRamp supports Azure events for Azure Virtual machines. Configure Azure Events in the OpsRamp Azure integration discovery profile.
See Process Azure Events for more information on how to configure Azure events.
