Monitoring cloud services using the Azure portal

So far in this book, we have looked at how we can create Cloud Services, such as virtual machines and virtual networks, to allow us to run our infrastructure in the cloud. In this section, we will discuss how to go about monitoring your infrastructure.

By default, Azure provides minimal monitoring for any new cloud-based services that you create. This data is provided by the host operating system for virtual the machines that are running on the system. As these are minimal metrics, they are limited to the following:

  • The CPU percentage
  • Network in
  • Network out
  • Disk read throughput (Disk Read Bytes/sec)
  • Disk write throughput (Disk Write Bytes/sec)

It might be that these are enough for you, and you can get by with your day-to-day needs with just these. However, it is likely that you will need additional information about your services, especially if you are running production servers in the cloud.
