What is the replacement for batch-insights?

Nicky 0

I was using batch-insights on azure batch on Centos 7.9. Those scripts don't work on Alma Linux and Centos is EOLd.

batch-insights repo is read-only so what is the replacement so that i can see the cpu and io disk usage via Azure BatchExplorer, etc.

Hello Nicky,

Welcome to microsoft Q&A, Thankyou for posting your query here.

CentOS has reached its end of life and the batch-insights repository is read-only, you'll need to find another method to monitor CPU and disk I/O usage within Azure Batch environments.

You can use Azure VM custom script extensions to run scripts that collect metrics and then push them to a monitoring solution such as a log analytics workspace.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks. I know that I can write custom scripts, however we were using it for monitoring batch jobs and now it has been removed while there is still references to it in the Batch Explorer and Azure Batch official documentation. I don't want to rework what i have as I thought I was working with a supported service.
