Previously on Microsoft Azure Operational Insights Preview Series:

I was checking my Operational Insights Workspace today and I’ve noticed there is a new tile named Settings:

The Settings tile will lead you to a page which will guide what steps to make in order to start with Azure Operational Insights.

As I had this workspace for a while I’ve already completed all the steps in getting started. As we can see Data Source is our first step. Data sources are basically your direct agents, SCOM Management Groups and Azure Storage. You have the information for Direct Agent right on this page. Connect to SCOM will lead you to a guide on how to do that and connect to Azure Storage will do the same. The last two are guides are there are more steps to do in order to enable them.

You will also see a tab Logs and this is where Add Logs step leads you to. Logs are enabled by default on every new workspace but no data is gathered automatically from that because you still will need to add the logs you want to ingest and analyze in Azure Operational Insights.

I’ve already added some.

The last step will lead you to Intelligence Pack Gallery:

The last improvement I want to show you is that the Operational Insights portal now shows on which data plan you are:

This is important and I will have another post on that soon.
