Cloud Service Monitor Alert Can't be Created
Hi Team,
we had a cloud service deployed at Azure North Ireland Data Center,
i would like to create monitor for the role instance, but when creating alert it shows an error, and the alert can't be created.
thanks in advance
Hello Baker,
Thanks for posting here!
I reproduced the issue on my system it works fine for me.
As per the description provided what I have understood is that the configuration did not go successfully or could be a problem in execution.
Delete the configuration and try to reconfigure the Alerts.
Sometimes it could be the browser issue. Try deleting cache and cookies and then try again or try with different browser.
If it doesn't work, I suggest you could try to deploy a new cloud service and the try to configure the Alerts.
You might want to check the below mentioned links for better understanding:

And a Video for setting up
Endpoint Monitoring for Azure Web Sites.
Let me know if that helps!

Windows Azure Cloud Service Downtime alert
Hi,
One of the Cloud services that we have deployed on Windows Azure Cloud services using Azure Worker role is unexpectedly transitioning to Stopped state. There doesn't appear to be any valid reason behind this and it runs normally after we switch to
running state from portal.
Is it possible to develop some alert service which informs the Administrator or configured alert users that the Cloud service has shut down ? We tried to configure the Windows Azure alert but the metrics & logging doesn't seem to match with Cloud service
downtime. Please let us know what is the diagnositics or logging option which we should make use to come up an optimal design for the Alert system.
Thanks in advance,
Deepesh
Thanks & Regards, DeepHi,
From my experience, several operations in the Service Management API permit you to manage your cloud service either by referencing a deployment by its deployment name, or by referencing the deployment environment (staging or production) in
which the deployment is running. Refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460812.aspx for more information about Operations on Cloud Services, we can do lots of things via this API, in “Get Cloud Service Properties” section, it has a “RoleInstanceList” property, refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460806.aspx#bk_roleinstancelist for more information about
RoleInstanceList. In this article it has PersistentVMDowntime property, the detail information as following.
PersistentVMDowntime
Specifies information about when the Virtual Machine has been started and stopped.
The PersistentVMDowntime element is only available using version 2012-03-01 or higher.
Hope this helps, if this didn’t give you help, please feel free to let me know.

Displaying hostname in Basic Service Monitor alerts
Hi all,
I've created a new Unit Monitor (specifically, a Basic Service Monitor) to alert when a particular service I stopped on any server in a group that I've defined. When I stop the service to test the alert, I don't see the affected server's hostname anywhere in
the alert. I see the source is set to the name of the group. This isn't all that useful, as I have to check every server until I find the one that the alert was generated for.
I've tried changing values in the Alert Description on the monitor, but haven't had any success here. It seems to me like the answer should be pretty obvious, but I'm stumped.
Thanks!First - monitors or rules targeting groups is a
bad practice.
http://blog.scomskills.com/best-practices-targeting-intro/
Also, getting hostname in the alert is a
discovery issue.

Cloud service monitor data lagging back 20 minutes and only 5 minutes granularity
Hello,
is it normal that the charts and data in the monitor panel is 15 to 20 minutes old, and granularity is only 5 minutes? I'm trying to use the monitor page to debug and configure autoscaling, but this lag is making this really difficult.hi sir,
The Chart data source is form Azure platform. We only can add/ remove some metrics into chart. If you want to monitor your service metrics, I suggest you can enable Azure diagnostic feature and get the metrics data from table storage . In other words, you
can custom the performance count using code. I suggest you can refer to this official document:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-dotnet-diagnostics/

How do I connect two VMs in the same cloud service?
I want to setup a DB cluster with two VMs in a single cloud service. My DB (Couchbase) requires being able to reference the other nodes by IP address or hostname. Since VMs change their IP everytime they restart I can't use that, and as far as I can tell
hostname is the same for both VMs in a cloud service. But the Azure docs mention Azure provided name resolution (here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj156088.aspx). I can't find any information on how this service works, or how I find the permanent
hostnames it assigns to my VMs within a cloud service. Is there anyway to find one VM from another within a cloud service that persists across restarts?Hi CanuckAlex;
Thank you for your post.
Virtual machines must be in a cloud service, which acts as a container and provides a unique public DNS name, a public IP address, and a set of endpoints to access the virtual machine over the Internet. The cloud service can optionally be in a virtual network.
If a cloud service is not in a virtual network, the virtual machines in that cloud service can only communicate with other virtual machines through the use of the other virtual machines’ public DNS names, and that traffic would travel over the Internet.
If a cloud service is in a virtual network, the virtual machines in that cloud service can communicate with all other virtual machines in the virtual network without sending any traffic over the Internet.
If you place your virtual machines in the same standalone cloud service, you can take advantage of load balancing and availability sets. For details, see
Load balancing virtual machines and
Manage the availability of virtual machines. However, you cannot organize the virtual machines on subnets or connect a standalone cloud service to your on-premises network. Here is an example.
If you place your virtual machines in a virtual network, you can decide how many cloud services you want to use to take advantage of load balancing and availability sets. Additionally, you can organize the virtual machines on subnets in the same way as your
on-premises network and connect the virtual network to your on-premises network. Here is an example.
Virtual networks are the recommended way to connect virtual machines in Azure. The best practice is to configure each tier of your application in a separate cloud service. This enables advanced user rights delegation through Role Based Access Control (RBAC).
For more information, see
Role Based Access Control in Azure Preview Portal. However, you may need to combine some virtual machines from different application tiers into the same cloud service to remain within the maximum of 200 cloud services per subscription.
To connect virtual machines in a virtual network:
Create the virtual network in the Azure Management Portal. For more information, see
Virtual Network Configuration Tasks.
Create the set of cloud services for your deployment in the Azure Management Portal to reflect your design for availability sets and load balancing with
New > Compute > Cloud Service > Custom Create.
When you create each new virtual machine, specify the correct cloud service and your virtual network. If the cloud service has been previously associated with your virtual network, its name will already be selected for you.
Here is an example using the Azure Management Portal.
To connect virtual machines in a standalone cloud service:
Create the cloud service for your deployment in the Azure Management Portal with
New > Compute > Cloud Service > Custom Create.
When you create the virtual machine, specify the name of cloud service created in step 1. Alternately, you can create the cloud service for your deployment when you create your first virtual machine.
Here is an example using the Azure Management Portal for the existing cloud service named EndpointTest.
PS: One can assign static IP address to VM on Azure, You could refer to this
link here.
Hope this helps.

I just created a virtual machine, and noticed in my portal that I now also have a cloud service. 1) is that supposed to happen, and 2) if so, am I going to be billed for both a vm and a cloud service?
Mark Aurit Priest River SystemsHey Mark,
1) Yes it is normal when you create a VM that by default it creates a Cloud Service with the same name.
- You can more than VM in a Cloud service , you would do that if you were intending to add a load balance across them for example
by default you are limited to 20 Cloud Services but this can be increased to 100 (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/azure-subscription-service-limits/)
- Also VMs in a cloud service share the same internal DNS so can "see" each other (you still need to open up Windows firewall to get ping / other stuff working internally). Also putting them in same virtual network allows this.
2) You won't get billed extra
cheers

Is there any command to find the running cloud services in the current PC in windows?
Is there way to find the list of running cloud service providers in the current PC through C++ programming ?
Or is there any other tool which gives the list of service providers running in the PC?
I know this question is not related to Azure but Azure comes under this part..
Please let me know the answer if any one is aware of it....Hello DeekshaBharathi,
There are only 3 ways of communicating with the Azure cloud services:
a. Management Portal
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-how-to-manage/
b. REST APIs
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee460799.aspx
c. Powershell
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj156055.aspx
Since that you want to use commands to manage Cloud Services. You can do it using PowerShell. You can refer to the article above for more information on this.
Thanks,

Issue with ADF security enabled App deployed to java cloud services
Hi,
Here are the instance details:
Jdev cloud build:JDEVADF_11.1.1.6.0CLOUD_GENERIC_121118.1600.6229
Java cloud service version:13.1
I have created a simple ADF Application & enabled security by editing web.xml:
<login-config>
<auth-method>CLIENT-CERT</auth-method>
<realm-name>default</realm-name>
</login-config>
<security-role>
<description>manager</description>
<role-name>manager</role-name>
</security-role>
Then I have tried to deploy this Application to Java cloud services.Deployment works fine.
I have 2 users created in Identity console- x & y.In my case x user has manager role enabled & y doesn't have manager role enabled.
Now when I try to access the above deployed ADF Application with 'y' user,the page is accessible.
My question here is that since 'y' user does not have the privilege he should not be able to access this page,could you please let me know if am missing something?
Thanks.Hi,
You may refer to the documentation available in the link: Developing Applications for Oracle Java Cloud Service - Release 13.1

I just bought the LG G2 yesterday. I am trying to access my cloud service so i can transfer files that I uploaded to the cloud before switching phones. It tells me my account was deactivated!!!!???? I absolutely DID NOT deactivate my account. How can I retrieve my stored data????? Please help!
Hello JustMe2652!
I apologize that you have having difficulty accessing the Cloud! Where is it saying your account was deactivated? What make & model phone did you have previously?
Did you use Backup Assistant on your old device, or had you downloaded Verizon Cloud? Please provide these details so we can help get this matter resolved.

Alerts broken after redeploy of Cloud Service?
I've been experimenting with Alerts since they were released into Preview and really like the idea. I have however had enough trouble with them that I am losing faith in their effectiveness. It seems like each time I go into the Alerts section of the Azure
Portal I find my alerts are broken yet again in some way. Right now all 10 of the alerts I have defined are showing errors when I view the dashboard page. These are alerts I deleted and re-created a few weeks ago because they were broken back then for some
unknown reason. Now when I go into the dashboard for any alert I see at the top this error:
Error: Could not find the resource that is defined for this alert rule. Verify that the resource still exists.
If I try and edit the alert I see this at the top of the edit popup:
Could not retrieve the metrics for (microsoft/compute/hostedservices/{mydeploymentname}/deployments/{mydeploymentid}) because the resource was not found. Verify the resource exists and then try again.
I suspect the problem is that we are deploying new builds of our Cloud Service every few weeks. We use the VIP Swap approach so we get new deployment ids each time. It would be completely unworkable for me to have to re-create alerts each time we redeploy.
Can anyone on the Alerts team speak to this issue? I am sufficiently frustrated with alerts now that I just may stop trying to use them.I ask that you all try to expedite this. I am having to look at third party tools to accomplish this when the ability is there in the Portal. It's just not working as it should for VIP swaps.
Also, it may be worth noting that I recently got several alerts that a Cloud service no longer had monitoring data available and could not autoscale. It makes me wonder if that could have also been due to monitoring being tied to the deployment ID
(but maybe not).
I have heard that this will likely be resolved in the next 2 months though I know Microsoft can not commit to that. I do ask that you do everything possible to tie this to the slot rather than the deployment ID that can change.
Thanks! -
Hi All,
I am using SCOM 2007 R2 CU4 in my environment. I want to do a service monitoring on specific agents. When i try creating this service monitor which comes under the Management pack template when i select the service which i want to monitor it does not
show all the services in the drop down.
For example - I have Windows audio service which is present on the machine, But it is not showing in the service list.
So from the services stating from "W" i see only 5 in SCOM and in services.msc in the Agent i see more than 5.
Below is the screen shot.
Can any one please help.
Gautam.75801Hi Yan Li,
So based on your above suggestion, If the services are already managed / monitored by a specific
management pack those services will not appear here in the Wizard while creating this type of a Management pack object alert right ?
If that is the case why does not the same reflect here in the operations console in the Services monitor
TAB ?

How to create Service Monitor - best Way
I have a task at hand :
Creating monitor to alert when a service is stopped.
We are using SCOM 2012
I checked and found various ways to do so http://www.bictt.com/blogs/bictt.php/2011/03/16/scom-monitoring-a-service-part1
My requirement is : there are like 100 such services on 100 different windows computers that i need to monitor.
The services are not common , so 2 computers have the same service , Maybe some service that i need to be monitored be on 2 computers but overall every service is unique.
What is my best option:
1.Create a basic unit monitor and target to Windows computer class ? Create is as disabled ? Override for just the machine that has it.
Will it clutter my Windows Server class health explorer . (How bad is that as per performance)
2.Create a Service monitor using Windows Service templates
Do i have to create 100 target groups , as i have to Target the monitor to specific computer only
Since template service monitor create discoveries , targets etc on its own (Am i going to clutter SCOM with a lot of those) 100
3.Do i create a attribute for each service , so as to extend the windows base class to discover the computer that has specific service (Using registry)
too much work is it and how good of an option is this.
4.MP Authoring ,Create new class discovery based on WMI / Registry to find computer and then target the monitor
What would you do in such a case.An example is the windows service monitoring from the Windows Management Packs. Microsoft does not discover any of these services. The MPs discover the Windows 2003 \ 2008 \ 2012 Operating System Class and the basic service monitors are targetted at
this class. This means it is relatively light weight monitoring (less overhead on the agent and less discovery information in the databases) but it does mean that you can't add any of these services to a distributed application or report on their availability.
You don't report on individual monitors but on objects which may have many monitors targetted at them.

If you want to actually report on the availability of this windows service (or add it to a Distributed Application) then you do need to discover it - either via the Authoring Template or authoring your own discoveries.
Only you can decide what you need and you might have a different need for each service depending on what it is doing.
Jonathan Almquist has a good walk through here about how to change service monitoring to allow for consecutive occurrences of a service being unavailable but it is deep authoring.

Windows Service Monitor - False Alerts
Scenario : We have a custom Service Monitor that is created long back and enabled for all Servers. I just noted that the service is not present in all servers except few. I also noticed that there are some Overrides for 5 servers which does
not make any sense to me as it was overridden to enable this monitor.
Issue : Now the issue is, I got alerts for 5 servers for which the service is not installed at all. How is that possible ?
S.Arun Prasath HP ARDE TEAMHOw to you create this service monitor?
You can create your service monitor either
1) From Authoring workspace --> Management pack Templates --> Windows services
http://www.bictt.com/blogs/bictt.php/2011/03/17/scom-monitoring-a-service-part3
OR
2) Authoring workspace --> Monitors
http://www.bictt.com/blogs/bictt.php/2011/03/17/scom-monitoring-a-service-part2
You understanding is correct if you using method 1) to create service monitor. Otherwise, you should enable the monitor for computer which has te service present.
