    I understand that you want to monitor you Azure VM and restart it if is unresponsive. While it would be possible to do this with ICMP, this would require a custom solution. In Azure you can monitor the VM availability metric. This tutorial walks you through setting up a monitoring alert for this. When you setup the action group you can have it restart the VM through Automation Runbook.
