Invalid instruction to set up log analytics workspace (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/monitor-performance-using-azure-monitor-for-vms/3-exercise-set-up-log-analytics-workspace)

Question

In this module the following instructions are given:

• Section "Create and configure a Log Analytics workspace"
• Point 6. "In the left menu, scroll down to General and select Properties."

But you have to scroll down to "Settings" -> "Properties" instead!

Please fix that issue. Thank you!

Hello, @Michael Wagner ! Thank you very much for reporting this! I'm seeing the same thing and it looks like the instructions are out of date. I'll report this to the content author to get it fixed. Your feedback is valuable so if you get a moment, please consider accepting the answer. Thank you!

Where am I seeing this?

• Module: Monitor performance of virtual machines by using Azure Monitor VM Insights
• Unit: 3 of 6 Exercise - Set up a Log Analytics workspace and Azure Monitor VM Insights

The instructions for step 6 in "Create and configure a Log Analytics workspace" are out of date

Under "Create and configure a Log Analytics workspace" in step 6, readers are instructed to "In the left menu, scroll down to General and select Properties." however the correct instructions for the current UI would be "In the left menu, scroll down to Settings and select Properties."

In the current UI, you would select "Properties" under "Settings":
