Azure Monitor health models for Azure Local
Azure Local / Azure Monitor — the committed Azure Monitor delivery surface for Azure Local.
This section covers how the Azure Local design is implemented as an Azure Monitor Health Model. Read the Azure Local Azure Monitor design lane first. Its entity graph, DCMA signals, cloud prerequisites, and deployment model do not govern Hyper-V.
Start with the prerequisites
Before building or deploying the health model, work through the prerequisites. The model itself collects nothing; it consumes signals from HCI Insights, Azure Monitor Agent, Telemetry and Diagnostics, and Resource Health.
Implementation has not started
The Azure Local design baseline is accepted. Current APIs and signal contracts will be revalidated before implementation begins. See the implementation plan.
Hyper-V has a separate, conditional Azure Monitor roadmap track through Arc-enabled SCVMM. It is not covered by the Azure Local prerequisites on this page.
What lives here
| Page | Content |
|---|---|
| Prerequisites | Cloud-side setup contract (HCI Insights, AMA, DCMA, RBAC, networking) |
| Entities (planned) | Implementation of ADR 0006 — Service Group + per-entity definitions |
| Signals (planned) | DCMA metrics + KQL queries per Signal Catalog |
| Health Objectives (planned) | Per-entity Availability/Performance/Configuration/Security objectives |
| Alerts (planned) | Alert rules + action groups per ADR 0009 |
| Bicep modules (planned) | health-model.bicep, service-group.bicep, alerts.bicep + tier files |
| Workbook (planned) | Azure Monitor Workbook for visualization |
| Diagrams | Entity graph (Mermaid + draw.io), health propagation flow |
