When you select a virtual network, subnet, a single VM or a virtual machine scale set the corresponding resource ID is set as the endpoint. By default, all VMs in the selected virtual network or subnet participate in monitoring. To reduce the scope, either select specific subnets or agents or change the value of the scope property.

As a best practice, to avoid loss of data because of a downscaling of instances, we recommend that you select *all* instances in a scale set while you're creating a test group, instead of selecting a particular few for monitoring your endpoints.
