With Azure Monitor, you can collect data from different [sources to monitor and analyze](../azure-monitor/data-sources.md) and different types of [data for analysis, visualization, and alerting](../azure-monitor/data-platform.md). You can also create alert rules to identify issues in your environment, like high use of resources, missing patches, low disk space, and heartbeat of your VMs. You can set an automated response to detected events by sending an alert to IT Service Management (ITSM) tools. Alert detection notification can also be sent via email.

Monitor Azure VMware Solution VMs through the Log Analytics agent.

When data is available, the agent sends it to Azure Monitor Logs for processing. Azure Monitor Logs applies logic to the received data, records it, and makes it available for analysis.
