Azure VMware Solution Advanced Monitoring

Azure VMware Solution Advanced Monitoring

The available Azure VMware Solution metrics in the Azure portal contain a standard monitoring library. For customers that require an advanced and comprehensive set of metrics from the VMware vSphere and NSX-T Data Center components of their Azure VMware Solution, this Advanced Monitoring Telegraf plug-in can be used. This provides operational simplicity for our customers using the Azure VMware Solution, removing the need for additional third-party solutions when access to advanced metrics is a customer requirement.

 

This solution add-on deploys a virtual machine running Telegraf in Azure with a managed identity that has contributor and metrics publisher access to the Azure VMware Solution private cloud object. Telegraf then connects to vCenter Server and NSX-T Manager via API and provides responses to API metric requests from the Azure portal.
