 1. Create [data collection rules (DCR)](../essentials/data-collection-rule-overview.md) that define which data Azure Monitor agent sends to which destinations.
 1. Associate the data collection rule to specific virtual machines.
 
-## How data collection rule associations work
-
-You can associate virtual machines to multiple data collection rules. This allows you to define each data collection rule to address a particular requirement, and associate the data collection rules to virtual machines based on the specific data you want to collect from each machine.
-
-For example, consider an environment with a set of virtual machines running a line of business application and other virtual machines running SQL Server. You might have: 
-
-- One default data collection rule that applies to all virtual machines.
-- Separate data collection rules that collect data specifically for the line of business application and for SQL Server. 
-    
-The following diagram illustrates the associations for the virtual machines to the data collection rules.
