The Azure Monitor service collects and aggregates metrics and logs from every component of your system. Azure Monitor provides you with a view of availability, performance, and resilience, and notifies you of issues. You can use the Azure portal, PowerShell, Azure CLI, REST API, or client libraries to set up and view monitoring data.\n * For more information on Azure Monitor, see the [Azure Monitor overview](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/overview>).\n * For more information on how to monitor Azure resources in general, see [Monitor Azure resources with Azure Monitor](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/monitor-azure-resource>).\n\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/<#resource-types>)"

For example, one resource type for a virtual machine is `Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines`. For a list of services and their associated resource types, see [Resource providers](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/azure-services-resource-providers>).\nAzure Monitor similarly organizes core monitoring data into metrics and logs based on resource types, also called _namespaces_. Different metrics and logs are available for different resource types. Your service might be associated with more than one resource type.\nFor more information about the resource types for Azure Container Instances, see [Container Instances monitoring data reference](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/<monitor-azure-container-instances-reference>).\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/<#data-storage>)"

No configuration is required.\n**Routing:** You can also route some platform metrics to Azure Monitor Logs / Log Analytics so you can query them with other log data. Check the **DS export** setting for each metric to see if you can use a diagnostic setting to route the metric to Azure Monitor Logs / Log Analytics.\n * For more information, see the [Metrics diagnostic setting](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/diagnostic-settings#metrics>).\n * To configure diagnostic settings for a service, see [Create diagnostic settings in Azure Monitor](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/create-diagnostic-settings>).\n\nFor a list of all metrics it's possible to gather for all resources in Azure Monitor, see [Supported metrics in Azure Monitor](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/metrics-supported>).\nFor a list of available metrics for Container Instances, see [Container Instances monitoring data reference](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/<monitor-azure-container-instances-reference#metrics>).

At this time, Azure Monitor metrics are only available for Linux containers. Previews are made available to you on the condition that you agree to the [supplemental terms of use](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/<https:/azure.microsoft.com/support/legal/preview-supplemental-terms>). Some aspects of this feature may change prior to general availability (GA).\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/<#use-the-azure-portal>)\n#### Use the Azure portal\nWhen a container group is created, Azure Monitor data is available in the Azure portal. To see metrics for a container group, go to the **Overview** page for the container group. Here you can see precreated charts for each of the available metrics.\n\nIn a container group that contains multiple containers, use a [dimension](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/data-platform-metrics#multi-dimensional-metrics>) to display metrics by container. To create a chart with individual container metrics, perform the following steps:\n 1. In the **Overview** page, select one of the metric charts, such as **CPU**.\n 2. Select the **Apply splitting** button, and select **Container Name**.\n\n\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/<#use-azure-cli>)\n#### Use Azure CLI\nMetrics for container instances can also be gathered using the Azure CLI. First, get the ID of the container group using the following command. Replace `<resource-group>` with your resource group name and `<container-group>` with the name of your container group.\nAzure CLI Copy\n```\nCONTAINER_GROUP=$(az container show --resource-group <resource-group> --name <container-group> --query id --output tsv)\n\n```\n\nUse the following command to get **CPU** usage metrics.\nAzure CLI Copy\n```\naz monitor metrics list --resource $CONTAINER_GROUP --metric CPUUsage --output table\n\n```\n\nOutput Copy\n```\nTimestamp Name Average\n------------------- --------- ---------\n2020-12-17 23:34:00 CPU Usage\n. . .\n2020-12-18 00:25:00 CPU Usage\n2020-12-18 00:26:00 CPU Usage 0.4\n2020-12-18 00:27:00 CPU Usage 0.0\n\n```\n\nChange the value of the `--metric` parameter in the command to get other [supported metrics](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/<monitor-azure-container-instances-reference#metrics>).

"value": "You can analyze monitoring data in the Azure Monitor Logs / Log Analytics store by using the Kusto query language (KQL).\nImportant\nWhen you select **Logs** from the service's menu in the portal, Log Analytics opens with the query scope set to the current service. This scope means that log queries will only include data from that type of resource. If you want to run a query that includes data from other Azure services, select **Logs** from the **Azure Monitor** menu. See [Log query scope and time range in Azure Monitor Log Analytics](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/logs/scope>) for details.\nFor a list of common queries for any service, see the [Log Analytics queries interface](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/logs/queries>).\nThe following query examples use the legacy Log Analytics log tables. The basic structure of a query is the source table, `ContainerInstanceLog_CL` or `ContainerEvent_CL`, followed by a series of operators separated by the pipe character (`|`). You can chain several operators to refine the results and perform advanced functions.\nIn the newer table schema for diagnostic settings, the table names appear without __CL_ , and some columns are different. If you have diagnostic settings enabled, you can use either or both tables.\nTo see example query results, paste the following query into the query text box, and select the **Run** button to execute the query. This query displays all log entries whose \"Message\" field contains the word \"warn\":\nKusto Copy\n```\nContainerInstanceLog_CL\n| where Message contains \"warn\"\n\n```\n\nMore complex queries are also supported. For example, this query displays only those log entries for the \"mycontainergroup001\" container group generated within the last hour:\nKusto Copy\n```\nContainerInstanceLog_CL\n| where (ContainerGroup_s == \"mycontainergroup001\")\n| where (TimeGenerated > ago(1h))\n\n```\n\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/<#alerts>)"

For more information, see [Azure Monitor alerts](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-overview>).\nThere are many sources of common alerts for Azure resources. For examples of common alerts for Azure resources, see [Sample log alert queries](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-log-alert-query-samples>). The [Azure Monitor Baseline Alerts (AMBA)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/<https:/aka.ms/amba>) site provides a semi-automated method of implementing important platform metric alerts, dashboards, and guidelines. The site applies to a continually expanding subset of Azure services, including all services that are part of the Azure Landing Zone (ALZ).\nThe common alert schema standardizes the consumption of Azure Monitor alert notifications.

"from": "gpt",
"value": "You can alert on any metric or log data source in the Azure Monitor data platform. There are many different types of alerts depending on the services you're monitoring and the monitoring data you're collecting. Different types of alerts have various benefits and drawbacks. For more information, see [Choose the right monitoring alert type](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-types>).\nThe following list describes the types of Azure Monitor alerts you can create:\n * [Metric alerts](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-types#metric-alerts>) evaluate resource metrics at regular intervals. Metrics can be platform metrics, custom metrics, logs from Azure Monitor converted to metrics, or Application Insights metrics. Metric alerts can also apply multiple conditions and dynamic thresholds.\n * [Log alerts](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-types#log-alerts>) allow users to use a Log Analytics query to evaluate resource logs at a predefined frequency.\n * [Activity log alerts](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-types#activity-log-alerts>) trigger when a new activity log event occurs that matches defined conditions. Resource Health alerts and Service Health alerts are activity log alerts that report on your service and resource health.\n\nSome Azure services also support [smart detection alerts](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-types#smart-detection-alerts>), [Prometheus alerts](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-types#prometheus-alerts>), or [recommended alert rules](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-manage-alert-rules#enable-recommended-alert-rules-in-the-azure-portal>).\nFor some services, you can monitor at scale by applying the same metric alert rule to multiple resources of the same type that exist in the same Azure region. Individual notifications are sent for each monitored resource. For supported Azure services and clouds, see [Monitor multiple resources with one alert rule](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-types#monitor-multiple-resources-with-one-alert-rule>).\nNote\nIf you're creating or running an application that runs on your service, [Azure Monitor application insights](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/</en-us/azure/azure-monitor/overview#application-insights>) might offer more types of alerts.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/<#container-instances-alert-rules>)"

[Next steps](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#next-steps>)\n\nRun Command uses the virtual machine (VM) agent to run scripts within an Azure Windows or Linux VM. You can use these scripts for general machine or application management. They can help you to quickly diagnose and remediate VM access and network issues and get the VM back to a good state. Scripts can be embedded in the properties or referenced to a pre published gallery script.\nThe original set of commands are action orientated. The updated set of commands are management orientated and enable you to run multiple scripts and has less restrictions. This article will explain the difference between the two sets of run commands and help you decide which set is the right one to use in your scenario.\nImportant\n**Managed Run Command** is currently available in Azure CLI, PowerShell, and API at this time. Portal functionality will soon be available.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/<#when-to-use-action-or-managed-commands>)"

As your application demand changes, you can automatically increase or decrease the number of VM instances. The ability to autoscale lets you keep up with customer demand or respond to application performance changes throughout the lifecycle of your app. In this tutorial you learn how to:\n * Use autoscale with a scale set\n * Create and use autoscale rules\n * Stress-test VM instances and trigger autoscale rules\n * Autoscale back in as demand is reduced\n\nIf you don't have an [Azure subscription](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/</en-us/azure/guides/developer/azure-developer-guide#understanding-accounts-subscriptions-and-billing>), create an [Azure free account](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/<https:/azure.microsoft.com/free/?ref=microsoft.com&utm_source=microsoft.com&utm_medium=docs&utm_campaign=visualstudio>) before you begin.\n[](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/<#prerequisites>)"

The following output shows three VMs created as the scale set autoscales out:\n```\nEvery 2.0s: az vmss list-instances --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myScaleSet --output table\n InstanceId LatestModelApplied Location Name ProvisioningState ResourceGroup VmId\n------------ -------------------- ---------- ------------ ------------------- --------------- ------------------------------------\n 1 True eastus myScaleSet_1 Succeeded myResourceGroup 4f92f350-2b68-464f-8a01-e5e590557955\n 2 True eastus myScaleSet_2 Succeeded myResourceGroup d734cd3d-fb38-4302-817c-cfe35655d48e\n 4 True eastus myScaleSet_4 Creating myResourceGroup 061b4c90-0d73-49fc-a066-19eab0b3d95c\n 5 True eastus myScaleSet_5 Creating myResourceGroup 4beff8b9-4e65-40cb-9652-43899309da27\n 6 True eastus myScaleSet_6 Creating myResourceGroup 9e4133dd-2c57-490e-ae45-90513ce3b336\n\n```\n\nOnce **stress** stops on the initial VM instances, the average CPU load returns to normal. After another 5 minutes, the autoscale rules then scale in the number of VM instances. Scale in actions remove VM instances with the highest IDs first. When a scale set uses Availability Sets or Availability Zones, scale in actions are evenly distributed across those VM instances. The following example output shows one VM instance deleted as the scale set autoscales in:\n```\n6 True eastus myScaleSet_6 Deleting myResourceGroup 9e4133dd-2c57-490e-ae45-90513ce3b336\n\n```\n\nExit _watch_ with `Ctrl-c`.
