Add Azure Dashboard

[sorantis]

These dashboards visualize metrics for Azure virtual machines, vm guest metrics, virtual machine scale sets.

Tested it out, LGTM

LGTM, just curious why in these dashboards, the Filters section is different?

LGTM, just curious why in these dashboards, the Filters section is different?

Mainly because the dashboards show different entities: VMSS consist of VMs, so in addition to Region and Resource Group the user might want to drill down to a particular VM in a VMSS and check metrics for it. For Guest metrics the use case is the same - show ASP.NET, SQL Server metrics for a particular VM instead of an aggregate.

Thanks for the explanation. For Compute VM Overview, will it be helpful to add VM name as a filter for user to drill down as well?

CI is not happy with the json file:

Added a vm filter.

Regarding the CI error, not sure how to approach solving it. I'm using metricbeat and stack v7.4.0 for exporting dashboards. Is there some incompatibility on the version level?
