Azure Virtual Machines

You can use the Update Management solution to manage updates and patches for your virtual machines. For details, refer to Manage updates and patches for your virtual machines.

Update the monitoring configuration for SAP

Update the SAP monitoring configuration in any of the following scenarios:

  • The joint Microsoft/SAP team extends the monitoring capabilities and requests more or fewer counters.
  • Microsoft introduces a new version of Azure infrastructure that delivers the monitoring data, and the Azure Enhanced Monitoring Extension for SAP needs to be adapted to those changes.
  • You add or remove data disks attached to your Azure Virtual Machines. In this scenario, update the collection of storage-related data. Changing your configuration by adding or deleting endpoints or by assigning IP addresses to a virtual machine doesn't affect the monitoring configuration.
  • You change the size of your Azure Virtual Machine.
  • You add new network interfaces to your Azure Virtual Machine.

To update monitoring settings, redeploy the Azure Extension for SAP (by rerunning the PowerShell cmdlet Set-AzVMAEMExtension or the Azure CLI command azure vm enable-aem).
