How can we monitor the following? Burstable Vm for Disk usage and Memory as i could not find anything as in the normal VM LoadBalancer for - 4xx, 5xx and latency. Any help will be appreciated.

@Ashutosh Sharma , I think I understood what you want to monitor and achieve here. So, Burstable VMs (usually B series VMs are of Burstable type) are ideal for workloads that do not need the full performance of the CPU continuously. These workloads typically have burstable performance requirements. The B-series provides you with the ability to purchase a VM size with baseline performance that can build up credits when it is using less than its baseline. When the VM has accumulated credits, the VM can burst above the baseline using up to 100% of the vCPU when your application requires higher CPU performance. CPU credits is the metric that is unique to burstable VMs. You can monitor the metrics using Azure Metrics as shown below (It does not show any chart because my VM has been in deallocated state for quite long and it is not of B series). Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/metrics-getting-started Let me know if this helps. Please 'accept as answer' and 'upvote' if you think the information provided was useful.

Need to monitor some resources.

Hi @Ashutosh Sharma ,
Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft QnA.
You can monitor the disk usage and memory usage by navigating to Monitoring section under Overview as shown below.

Please let me know if this helps and if my understanding of your question is correct?
I am not sure about load balancer, will have to check it on my end and let you know.

the thing is the machines are of Burstable kind and I cannot find the metrics which we normally used to monitor a VM

@Ashutosh Sharma , will the metrics displayed in the Portal not be helpful in your case?

That is what I am confused for, I could not find the metrics which we usually use for normal Virtual machines, the Burstable machines have different kinds of metrics which I am not sure about as what should be used for memory and disk.

I am actually aware of the monitoring, just wanted to be sure as to what metrics shall I use for memory usage and Disk.

@Ashutosh Sharma , you can check the Bursting metrics here for premium SSDs. For memory usage, you can check available memory? Let me know if this helps. Feel free to reach back and tag me if you have any follow-up questions.

Thank you for the information, appreciate it. Can you also help me out in finding out the metrics for disk on a VM and 4xx, 5xx and latency for a loadbalancer, and if there are no default metrics for these is there a way to do it?

@Ashutosh Sharma , I have shared a link of all the available disk metrics on my above comment. Can you please let me know which metrics do you want to focus on here, that way I'll understand what you want to monitor?
I am checking on the load-balancer metrics with the necessary team and will share here shortly.

I would like to monitor disk usage for the Vm and 4xx 5xx and latency for LoadBalancer
