Hi All

i have two Azure Virtual machines lets say Srv01, Srv02 with same configuration i.e same instance size. i have an application running on these two VMS. When user gets connected to Srv01 from the application the performance is faster but when user gets connected to Srv02 from application the performance is not same as Srv01. i want to match the configuration of both the servers, is the only way from Operating System-System information. i want check every minute information like clock speed, caching every thing. experts guide me how to fetch this information as application owner says its hardware issue.

    Hi @Glenn Maxwell ,

    maybe this helps: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/retrieve-azure-resource-manager-virtual-machine-properties-by-using-powershell-part-2/
    There are 5 parts in this series. The first part you can skip, this is just the deployment of a VM that will be used in the other parts.

    Or maybe this is helpful as well: https://rajanieshkaushikk.com/2021/02/03/retrieve-azure-vm-details-by-using-powershell/

    Hi @Glenn Maxwell ,

    I would start with using the Performance Monitor of the Windows Server OS.
    This way you are able to collect the data in a file and take a look on this later.
    The following counters should give an overview of the performance of each VM:

    • [Processor] "% Processor time"
    • [Processor] "Queue Length"
    • [Physical Disk] "Current Disk Queue Length"
    • [Physical Disk] "Avg. Disk Queue Length"
    • [Physical Disk] "% Idle Time"
    • [Memory] "Available MBs"
    • [Memory] "Pages/sec"
    • [Memory] "Paging File(_Total)\% Usage"
    • [Network interface] "Bytes total/sec"

    Another option is to use Azure VM Insights: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/vm/vminsights-overview
