Monitor autoscale examples

[visokoo]

I hope this helps someone else since it can't be found on their official docs at all.

If you want to create a rule to autoscale via a guest vm metric enabled from diagnostic extensions, you have to use the counterSpecifier field from az vmss diagnostics get-default-config

Eg: az monitor autoscale rule create -g {rg} --autoscale-name test --condition "/builtin/memory/percentavailablememory > 80 total 5m" --scale out 1

@msft, it would be really helpful to update this doc to reflect an example of that.

Where are you supplying the counter specifier in your command?

[visokoo]

Right after --condition in my example.

/builtin/memory/percentavailablememory?

[visokoo]

Yes.

This is now possible with configuring guest metrics via Windows Azure Diagnostic (WAD) to custom metrics in Azure Monitor and setting up autoscale over these custom metrics.

We are looking at producing a doc for this scenario.
