I have a VMSS cluster with 5 nodes. I would like to setup some generic alerting rules. Any guidance on getting started?

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A (Preview) platform. Happy to answer your questions.
    You can create alerts on metrics for virtual machine scale sets via PowerShell or Azure CLI. For more information, see Azure Monitor PowerShell quickstart samples and Azure Monitor cross-platform CLI quickstart samples.

    The TargetResourceId of the virtual machine scale set looks like this:

    /subscriptions/yoursubscriptionid/resourceGroups/yourresourcegroup/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachineScaleSets/yourvmssname

    You can choose any VM performance counter as the metric to set an alert for. For more information, see Guest OS metrics for Resource Manager-based Windows VMs and Guest OS metrics for Linux VMs in the Azure Monitor autoscaling common metrics article.
