Setting up Microsoft Azure monitoring
The Microsoft Azure cloud is a big player in the cloud market these days and it's important to keep an eye on this infrastructure as much as you would your own hardware. In this recipe, we are going to discover how to monitor Azure instances with our Zabbix setup.
Getting ready
For this recipe, we are going to need our Azure cloud with an Azure DB instance in it already. The recipe does not cover how to set up an Azure DB instance, so make sure to have this in advance. We will also need our Zabbix server, which we'll call zbx-home in this recipe.
We have split up the Azure CLI installation aspect into RHEL-based and Ubuntu systems. Make sure to use the guide that is appropriate for you.
Then, last but not least, we will require some templates and hosts, which we can import. We can download the XML files here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Zabbix-6-IT-Infrastructure-Monitoring-Cookbook/tree/main/chapter13.
