## Overview{% #overview %}

An [Azure Recovery Services vault](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/backup/backup-azure-recovery-services-vault-overview) stores backups and recovery points for workloads such as Azure virtual machines, databases in Azure VMs, and Azure Files. This integration collects the number of backup and restore health events in each Recovery Services vault.

The Datadog Azure integration can collect metrics from Azure Recovery Services vaults, but it is [recommended](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/dont-fear-the-agent/) that you install the Datadog Agent on your VMs. If your organization is on Datadog's US3 site and you've configured the Datadog resource in Azure, use the instructions on the [Azure Native Integration Manual Setup Guide](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/guide/azure-native-manual-setup.md#deploy-the-datadog-agent). **All sites** can use the instructions on the [Azure Integration Manual Setup Guide](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/guide/azure-manual-setup.md#agent-installation) or [Azure Programmatic Management Guide](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/guide/azure-programmatic-management.md#datadog-azure-vm-extension).
