## Enable Change Tracking at scale using Azure Monitoring Agent
72
+
73
+
Using the Deploy if not exist (DINE) policy, you can enable Change tracking with Azure Monitoring Agent at scale and in the most efficient manner.
74
+
75
+
1. In Azure portal, select **Policy**.
76
+
1. In the **Policy|Definitions** page, in **Authoring**, select **Definitions**
77
+
1. In the **Definition Type** category, select **Initiative** and in **Category**, select **ChangeTracking andInventory**
78
+
You will see a list of three policies:
79
+
- Enable ChangeTracking and inventory for virtual machine scale sets
80
+
- Enable ChangeTracking and inventory for virtual machines
81
+
- Enable ChangeTracking and inventory for Arc-enabled virtual machines
82
+
1. Select **Enable ChangeTracking and Inventory for virtual machines** to enable the change tracking on Azure virtual machines.
83
+
This initiative consists of three policies:
84
+
- Assign Built in User-Assigned Managed identity to Virtual machines
85
+
- Configure ChangeTracking Extension for Windows virtual machines
86
+
- Configure ChangeTracking Extension for Linux virtual machines
87
+
1. Select **Assign** to assign the policy to a resource group. For example, **Assign Built in User-Assigned Managed identity to virtual machines**.
88
+
>[!NOTE]
89
+
>The Resource group contains virtual machines and when you assign the policy, it
90
+
will enable change tracking at scale to a resource group. The virtual machines
91
+
that are on-boarded to the same resource group will automatically have the
92
+
change tracking feature enabled.
93
+
1. In the **Enable ChangeTracking and Inventory for virtual machines** page, enter the following options:
94
+
1. In **Basics**, you can define the scope. Select the three dots to configure a scope. In the **Scope** page, provide the **Subscription** and **Resource group**.
95
+
1. In **Parameters**, select the option in the **Bring your own user assigned managed identity**.
96
+
1. Provide the **Data Collection Rule Resource id**.
