Answer 1

Hello Suresh Police Patil,

Thanks for your question.

There's no direct cost for VM insights, but you're charged for its activity in the Log Analytics workspace. Based on the pricing that's published on the Azure Monitor pricing page, VM insights is billed for:

• Data ingested from agents and stored in the workspace.
• Alert rules based on log data.
• Notifications sent from alert rules.

Please check exact cost estimates from the calculator link above.
