Creating Azure Performance Agent

Each of virtual machine can be monitored only by one Azure Performance agent; otherwise the Management Server topology object changes and the performance issue occurs. Quest strongly recommends that each of the Azure Tenant is monitored by an agent. However in some production environments, you have to create two or more agents for monitoring the same Tenant. Under this condition, implement either of the following for those agents to ensure every agent in the same Tenant monitors different virtual machines:

* 
NOTE: Each of the virtual machine must be monitored by an agent.
•
If Monitor All is selected in the Select IaaS Virtual Machines to Monitor dialog box: In the Edit Properties dialog box, select Select Resource Groups to be monitored, and then ensure every agent monitors various Resource Groups.
•
If Monitor All and Automatically Monitor New Virtual Machines are not selected in the Select IaaS Virtual Machines to Monitor dialog box: In the Edit Properties dialog box, ensure every agent monitors various virtual machines.
•
If Monitor All is not selected but Automatically Monitor New Virtual Machines is selected in the Select IaaS Virtual Machines to Monitor dialog box: In the Edit Properties dialog box, select Select Resource Groups to be monitored, and then ensure every agent monitors various Resource Groups.

If you still encounter problems, contact Quest Support.
