-# Tutorial: Enable monitoring with VM insights for Azure virtual machine
-VM insights is a feature of Azure Monitor that quickly gets you started monitoring your virtual machines. You can view trends of performance data, running processes on individual machines, and dependencies between machines. VM insights installs the [Azure Monitor agent](../agents/azure-monitor-agent-overview.md) which is required to collect the guest operating system and prepares you to configure additional monitoring from your VMs according to your particular requirements.

+VM insights is a feature of Azure Monitor that quickly gets you started monitoring your virtual machines. You can view trends of performance data, running processes on individual machines, and dependencies between machines. VM insights installs [Azure Monitor Agent](../agents/azure-monitor-agent-overview.md). It's required to collect the guest operating system and prepares you to configure more monitoring from your VMs according to your requirements.
 
 In this tutorial, you learn how to:
 
 > [!div class="checklist"]
-> * Enable VM insights for a virtual machine which installs the Azure Monitor agent and begins data collection.
+> * Enable VM insights for a virtual machine, which installs Azure Monitor Agent and begins data collection.
 > * Enable optional collection of detailed process and telemetry to enable the Map feature of VM insights.
-> * Inspect graphs analyzing performance data collected from the virtual machine. 
-> * Inspect map showing processes running on the virtual machine and dependencies with other systems.

 ## Prerequisites
-To complete this tutorial, you need the following: 
-
-- An Azure virtual machine to monitor.

 > [!NOTE]
-> If you selected the option to **Enable virtual machine insights** when you created your virtual machine, then VM insights will already be enabled. If the machine was previously enabled for VM insights using Log Analytics agent, see [Enable VM insights in the Azure portal](vminsights-enable-portal.md) for upgrading to Azure Monitor agent.

+> If you selected the option to **Enable virtual machine insights** when you created your virtual machine, VM insights is already enabled.

 ## Enable VM insights
-Select **Insights** from your virtual machine's menu in the Azure portal. If VM insights hasn't been enabled, you should see a short description of it and an option to enable it. Click **Enable** to open the **Monitoring configuration** pane. Leave the default option of **Azure Monitor agent**. 
-
-In order to reduce cost for data collection, VM insights creates a default [data collection rule](../essentials/data-collection-rule-overview.md) that doesn't include collection of processes and dependencies. To enable this collection, click **Create new** to create a new data collection rule.

 ## View performance
-When the deployment is complete, you'll see views in the **Performance** tab in VM insights with performance data for the machine. This shows you the values of key guest metrics over time.

 ## Next steps
-VM insights collects performance data from the VM guest operating system, but it doesn't collect log data such as Windows event log or syslog. Now that you have the machine monitored with the Azure Monitor agent, you can create an additional data collection rule to perform this collection.
