Good day

I am needing to monitor the resources of the virtual machines.

Both the CPU, Disk, RAM memory or network use.

Which is the best option? Would it be with Azure Monitor?

In case it is with Azure Monitor, how is it implemented? Should a plugin be installed?

I appreciate the help.

    Azure already provides many of these metrics for you for free. These platform metrics can be viewed from the VM resource blade and the Monitor page. There is a VM Insights service that can be activated for more visual insights. This can also be activated on the Monitor page. If you want alerts there is a starter pack. Though rule creation is largely something you create custom with the rule creation wizard.
