Upgrade monitor is Unsupported
PatrikHansson , not sure what you mean exactly, but if I understood it correctly the answer to your question is "yes".
To elaborate more: VM Guest Health is a feature of Azure Monitor for VMs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/insights/vminsights-overview and, in order to turn on Guest VM Health feature you need to have AzMon for VMs already enabled for a given VM.
While Guest Health is in preview, enablement step for that specific feature is separate, i.e. you first onboard to AzMon for VMs and, if pre-reqs are satisfied, will be offered to upgrade to include Guest Health feature (you do not have to do it - your can chose).
I have all my VM:s enabled in azure monitor -> Insights.
But most of then are Unsupported when trying to upgrade.
Did a test on a VM and enabled Diagnostics for one VM.
Then all of the VM:s in the same resource group went from "Unsupported" to "Upgrade"

PatrikHansson Did you press the upgrade option? If I may ask, what happened does it reboot the VM? or does this happen in the workbook? and how long does this process take?

7cfourie Hi, no it doesn't reboot the vm.
It takes a couple of minutes in my experience.
- 7cfourieDec 07, 2020Copper ContributorThanks for this, but where does this actually happen? in the workbooks? the upgade?
