 > There is a cost for collecting and retaining most types of data in Azure Monitor. To minimize your cost, ensure that you don't collect any more data than you require and that your environment is configured to optimize your costs. See [Cost optimization in Azure Monitor](best-practices-cost.md) for a summary of recommendations.
 
 ## Azure resources
-Most resources in Azure generate the monitoring data described in the following table. Some services will also have additional data that can be collected by enabling other features of Azure Monitor. Regardless of the services that you're monitoring though, you should start by understanding and configuring collection of this data.

 Create diagnostic settings for each of the following data types can be sent to a Log Analytics workspace, archived to a storage account, or streamed to an event hub to send it to services outside of Azure. See [Create diagnostic settings in Azure Monitor](essentials/create-diagnostic-settings.md).

View in the Azure portal or create a diagnostic setting to send it to other destinations. Can be collected in Log Analytics workspace at no charge. See [Azure Monitor activity log](essentials/activity-log.md). |
 | Platform metrics | Platform metrics are numerical values that are automatically collected at regular intervals for different aspects of a resource. The specific metrics will vary for each type of resource.  | Collected automatically and stored in [Azure Monitor Metrics](./essentials/data-platform-metrics.md). View in metrics explorer or create a diagnostic setting to send it to other destinations. See [Azure Monitor Metrics overview](essentials/data-platform-metrics.md) and [Supported metrics with Azure Monitor](/azure/azure-monitor/reference/supported-metrics/metrics-index) for a list of metrics for different services. |

 ## Virtual machines
 Azure virtual machines create the same activity logs and platform metrics as other Azure resources. In addition to this host data though, you need to monitor the guest operating system and the workloads running on it, which requires the [Azure Monitor agent](./agents/agents-overview.md) or [SCOM Managed Instance](./vm/scom-managed-instance-overview.md). The following table includes the most common data to collect from VMs. See [Monitor virtual machines with Azure Monitor: Collect data](./vm/monitor-virtual-machine-data-collection.md) for a more complete description of the different kinds of data you can collect from virtual machines.
