I am trying to setup alerting for our cloud infrastructure. What I want to achieve is that using the Azure metrics, I can monitor all our virtual machines. I have setup a lot of alert rule for windows based on metrics using Azure Virtual Guest Metrics and the default Azure Platform metrics. But now I am looking for an alert rule for the virtual machines health. I don't want to use log query alert rules for a reason (ask me if you want to know the reason), so I searched the internet and came across this blog https://contoso.se/blog/?p=4532. This guy described about the heartbeat metric as shown in this screenshot.
I tried to set this up, but during the selection of the correct metric in the alert rule, I cannot find this as you can see in this screenshot.
Can someone tell me why this heartbeat metric is not showing up?
