Microsoft Azure – Troubleshoot Azure VM Process using KQL

Azure is Microsoft’s cloud platform, just like Google has its Google Cloud and Amazon has its Amazon Web Service or AWS.000. Generally, it is a platform through which we can use Microsoft’s resources. In this article, we will be using the VMProcess Kusto query operator in Azure Monitor to collect the Process data of azure servers/virtual machine clients with Service Map and VM Insights monitoring solutions using the Dependency agent and Log analytics agent.

Step 1. Use the following KQL Query to get the VMProcess Operator Data Logs for the last 10 minutes.

VMProcess

VMProcess
| where TimeGenerated > ago(1h)

Step 3. Use the following KQL Query to get the VMProcess Operator Data Logs for the last 1 day.
