Scenario: Typical Applications on Azure
-
Lab Setup:
- Create a Resource Group
- Create a Storage Account
- Create a Linux (Ubuntu) VM in Azure
- Create a Windows (Server 2016) VM in Azure
- Create an Azure SQL Database
-
When applications are hosted on Azure, we might have different resources like VMs, Databases, App Servers etc.
-
As an Azure Admin, we need to ensure that the applications hosted are running and in case of any errors we need to perform troubleshooting and take corrective actions.
-
What can be done to ensure that the applications are running correctly? We need to monitor Azure resources and Collect logs for analysis.
-
Navigate to Linux VM Created and in the overview section navigate to monitoring
-
Diagnostic logs of the windows and Linux VMs are getting stored in the storage account
-
We need to explore the options of
- Monitoring
- Logs
-
Exercise: Explore the monitoring and logs for VMs and Database created by you
