Performance counters not showing in log analytics workspace

Question

I have configured a data collection rule for Windows Performance Counters with destination to Azure Monitor Metrics (preview) and Azure Monitor Logs.
When I try to query the data I get no results with the following message "No results found from the specified time range".

I have also enabled "Monitor Coverage" for Azure VMs from Azure Monitor and that creates a data collection rule with the prefix "MSVMI-".
When I configure this data collection rule (MSVMI-) to collect performance metrics the query does give me results but the "Monitor Coverage" changes to disabled.

Which should be the correct approach to get the Windows Performance Counters? As I'm not getting any data with a collection rules besides the "MSVMI-" one.
All data collection rules are mapped to the same Log Analytics Workspace.

Thanks

Hi @Christian Fabián ,

AFAIK, you could query your custom metrics in Metrics Storage via Azure Workbooks. This is a known limitation of the Preview feature.
When you enable "Monitor Coverage" it means you create a data collection rule for VM Insights solution, it collects standard list of performance counters into InsightsMetrics table, not Perf.

If you want to collect Performance counters to Perf table without enabling of VM Insights, please follow the article
