Azure Virtual Machines (VM) Monitoring with SigNoz

SigNoz released an integration for monitoring Azure Virtual Machines that collects metrics such as memory, disk I/O, CPU credits, and network traffic. The integration requires SigNoz Azure agent version v0.0.11 or later and does not collect VM logs. Users can enable metric collection through the SigNoz Integrations panel to populate a Virtual Machine Overview dashboard.

The Azure Virtual Machines integration collects metrics from your VMs. Once enabled, the SigNoz agent discovers Virtual Machine resources in your monitored resource groups and configures telemetry collection.

This integration requires SigNoz Azure agent version v0.0.11 or later.

Note: This integration does not collect logs from Virtual Machines.

Getting started

Connect your Azure subscription first. See Azure One-Click Integrations for setup instructions. Once connected:

  • In SigNoz, navigate to Integrations>** Microsoft Azure**. - Select Virtual Machines from the left panel. - Toggle Metric Collection on.

The agent deploys the necessary resources in the background. Data starts flowing within a few minutes. Navigate to Dashboards and open the Virtual Machine Overview dashboard to confirm metrics are appearing.

Dashboards

The integration includes a pre-built Virtual Machines dashboard. Pre-built dashboards are locked and cannot be edited. To customize, use Export JSON from the dashboard menu and import it as a new dashboard.

Key panels include:

  • CPU percentage and availability
  • Available memory (bytes and percentage)
  • Disk read/write bytes and IOPS
  • OS disk latency, queue depth, and bandwidth
  • Network inbound and outbound traffic
  • Inbound and outbound flow counts
