Hi Varma,

Thank you for your feedback.

From your Azure Portal > Select your virtual machines (VMs) and enable monitoring by installing the Azure Monitor agent.

Go to the Azure Monitor section in the Azure portal.

Under "Settings," select "Data Collection Rules" and configure rules to collect CPU metrics from your VMs.

Create a Log Analytics workspace if you don't have one.

Link your VMs to this workspace to store and analyze the collected data.

In the Azure Monitor section, go to "Alerts."

Create alert rules to notify you when CPU usage exceeds a certain threshold.

Use the "Metrics" section in Azure Monitor to create charts and dashboards.

Select the CPU metrics for your VMs and visualize them over time.

Enable VM insights for a more detailed analysis.

Navigate to "Insights" under Azure Monitor and select "Virtual Machines" to view performance trends and detailed metrics.

For more detailed guide, refer to the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/vm/monitor-virtual-machine-analyze
