Motivation:
We all have seen the Monitoring Tab Key Metrics on the VM Page. Yes, it is useful to see whether the CPU has been running or not through the **CPU **metrics, to check when the VM is getting the data from the outside world through Network In metrics and if the VM is doing any kind of write operation using **Disk Operations/Sec **metrics but it’s not effective for the custom services that we build on VM. So, in this blog, I will be giving you an example of how to create your own log based on customer service, bring it to Azure Log Analytics Workspace using its default agent, and query it according to our needs, even better create an alert on it.
Prerequisites:
- An Azure Account
- Azure Virtual Machine Service
- Azure Log Analytics Workspace Service
- Azure Alert Service
Azure Virtual Machine:
Let’s start with the VM itself. You already have the service running on the VM but don’t know how to get those logs into the portal or even create a log for your services. So, let’s assume that you have not created the logs for your services. So for this blog, I will be taking a simple flask app as my example for the service. To get it up and running we must download the flask library from pip and then create a flask app similar to this below:
#logs #log-analytics #azure #azure log analytics
