> 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.

Most resources in Azure generate the monitoring data described in the following table. Some services will also have other data that can be collected by enabling other features of Azure Monitor (described in other sections in this article). Regardless of the services that you're monitoring though, you should start by understanding and configuring collection of this data.

### Application data

Application monitoring in Azure Monitor is done with [Application Insights](/azure/azure-monitor/app/app-insights-overview/), which collects data from applications running on various platforms in Azure, another cloud, or on-premises. When you enable Application Insights for an application, it collects metrics and logs related to the performance and operation of the application and stores it in the same Azure Monitor data platform used by other data sources.

### Virtual machine data
5656
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.
