Please advice how to configure MsAzure monitoring via the Wi

[dlukinski]

MsAzure monitoring Wizard requests providing host name and port (NCPA), which has nothing to do with Azure. We tried SolarWinds Azure monitoring and know the difference.

So how exactly MsAzure monitoring is configured? Where exactly NCPA client has to be installed and what it has to do with Azure as Service?

Please help

The Azure configuration wizard will allow you to monitor individual VMs. You'll need to install NCPA on the VM and then you'll be able to monitor it as you would any other machine.

The reason it's named the Azure wizard is so that customers know that we explicitly support monitoring configurations for MS Azure VMs, and that we've tested our software to work on that platform.

Hopefully that helps, please let us know if you have any other questions.

It works with NRPE just as well and actually misleading to Nagios customers. Azure as service has nothing to do with single VMs.

The description below the wizard:

Monitor a Microsoft Azure Cloud VM (Windows, RHEL, CentOS, or Ubuntu) using NCPA.

More than likely the developer's decision was to give the end-user something to click on so they know which wizard they should use. They can still use NRPE/NSClient++/SNMP/WMI/etc but the recommendation would be to use NCPA going forward so we set that as the default.

OK, please close the case (this is honestly a bad marketing in my opinion)
