AzureWatch - Support for monitoring of *multiple* Azure subscriptions under one account!

12. May 2013 14:13 by author Igor Papirov

New Features:

  • Major: AzureWatch now supports monitoring multiple Azure subscriptions under one AzureWatch account.  Entering Subscription ID's into AzureWatch can be done either through Setup Wizard or Azure-Specific Settings screen.
  • Major: AzureWatch no longer requires that every monitored instance sends its diagnostic data to a single storage account.  Users can now use any number of storage accounts to host diagnostic data.  AzureWatch will automatically sense which storage accounts hold diagnostic data.

Important Notes:

  • Please make sure that AzureWatch Management Certificate (public key in .cer file) is uploaded to every monitored Subscription under Windows Azure Portal's Management Certificates section.
  • Unfortunately, we do not have an automated way to merge existing AzureWatch accounts together.  Customers who have multiple AzureWatch accounts and who wish to combine those accounts together will have to do so manually.
