Azure Diagnostic Extension

This integration is deprecated. Install the Datadog Agent for similar guest-level and process-level insights into your Azure VMs, with better granularity and latency.

The metrics listed on this page are no longer populated for newly created Datadog organizations. For existing users, these metrics were disabled on June 1, 2023.

For any questions, contact Datadog Support.

Overview

The Azure Diagnostic Extension helps a user monitor the health of a VM running on Microsoft Azure.

The Datadog Azure integration can collect metrics from the Azure Diagnostic Extension, but it is recommended that you install the Datadog Agent on your VMs:

Setup

Installation

If you haven’t already, set up the Microsoft Azure integration first. There are no other installation steps.
