Monitor Azure Stack Tenant VMs

Question

Is there a way to monitor all Azure stack Hub Tenant vms metrics with a single monitoring solution?

Can all Azure stack Hub Tenant vms metrics be retrieved via a Rest API?

Answer 1

Hi,

Should be possible to monitor with a single monitoring solution, Azure Stack Hub includes infra monitoring capabilities by itself.

Monitor health and alerts in Azure Stack Hub
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-stack/operator/azure-stack-monitor-health?view=azs-2002

It is also possible to integrate with external monitoring software like System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) or Nagios.

Azure Stack Hub software offers a REST-based API to retrieve health and alerts. The use of software-defined technologies such as Storage Spaces Direct, storage health, and alerts are part of software monitoring.

Answer 2

We use also the SCOM MP to monitor the stack and this is a very good developed MP especially for app service.
For tenant workloads use we Azure Monitor (Azure Log Analytics with the dependency agent).

Answer 3

Hi @LeonLaude ,

As stwalez mentioned, Azure Stack Hub MP allows us to manage the stack deployment through the Adminportal endpoints, which works perfectly to monitor the azure stack platform.

when it come to the tenant portal(e.g., portal.local.domain.com), I am trying through Azure MP, which allows me to add the subscription, but when I try to add discovery wizard, I am able to see the subscription but I am not able to proceed further, it throws some value null error and quits there only.

your comments/recommendation on tenant vm monitoring are much appreciatable.

Thanks & Regards, Dev
