The Azure Health Dashboard is a game-changer for healthcare organizations looking to manage their data with ease. It provides a centralized platform for trusted data management, ensuring that sensitive patient information is secure and easily accessible.
With the Azure Health Dashboard, you can say goodbye to data silos and hello to a single, unified view of your patient data. This means that healthcare professionals can quickly and easily access the information they need to make informed decisions.
One of the key benefits of the Azure Health Dashboard is its ability to provide real-time data updates. This allows healthcare organizations to stay on top of patient care and make adjustments as needed.
Monitoring and Maintenance
The Azure Monitor has brought in a feature called Guest Health Monitor in preview that keeps track of the health of your Virtual Machines and sends out a warning whenever a parameter is outside of permitted bounds.
This function gives you an easy way to keep track of your Virtual Machine's general health, tracks the health of your Virtual Machine based on important VM indicators, and notifies you when the Virtual Machine moves to an unhealthy state.
You can also configure customizable alerts to notify you of service incidents, planned maintenance, and health advisories, and receive alerts via your preferred channels, including email, SMS, push notification, webhook, and popular IT service management tools such as ServiceNow.
Here are some ways you can monitor and maintain your Azure Virtual Machines:
- Install an agent to gather information from the guest operating system to monitor performance and health.
- Use VM insights, an attribute of Azure Monitor, to track workloads and the guest operating system running on Azure Virtual Machines.
- Associate your VM as another resource type in Business Applications to create health dashboards and generate alerts based on the metrics for the VM health.
Monitoring VM
Monitoring VM is a crucial aspect of maintaining your Azure Virtual Machine. Azure Virtual Machines produce identical monitoring data to other Azure resources, such as platform metrics and Activity logs.
To enable monitoring on your Azure VM, you can follow these steps: installation of the Log Analytics agent by VM insights allows for collecting performance information from Virtual Machine's guest operating systems.
Azure Monitor has brought in a feature Guest Health Monitor in the preview that keeps track of the health of your Virtual Machines and sends out a warning whenever a parameter is outside of permitted bounds. This function gives you an easy way to keep track of your Virtual Machine’s general health.
The health of your Virtual Machine is tracked by out-of-the-box health monitoring based on important VM indicators. Notifies you when the Virtual Machine moves to an unhealthy state.
The Guest Health monitoring for Azure Virtual Machines (Preview) uses a set of performance parameters that are sampled regularly. An alarm may be generated when a Virtual Machine or monitor enters an unhealthy state.
To check your VM health, you can install an agent to gather information from the guest operating system. This will allow you to monitor the performance and health of an Azure Virtual Machine.
Here are some benefits of using the Guest Health feature:
- Easy way to keep track of your Virtual Machine’s general health.
- Tracks the health of your Virtual Machine based on important VM indicators.
- Notifies you when the Virtual Machine moves to an unhealthy state.
You can enable the Guest Health monitoring by navigating Azure Monitor > Insights > Virtual Machines. Once the VMs are upgraded, you will find an option, “Health,” where the health explorer is available.
Streamline Workloads
Streamlining workloads is crucial for efficient monitoring and maintenance. Unifying healthcare data in the cloud makes it easier to exchange across the care continuum.
You can standardize diverse data streams using FHIR, DICOM, and MedTech services. This helps to create a cohesive view of patient information.
By streamlining workloads, you can reduce the administrative burden on healthcare professionals. This allows them to focus on providing better care to patients.
Microsoft Cloud Continuity Update 2
The global health pandemic continues to impact every organization, large or small, their employees, and the customers they serve.
Microsoft cloud services are being affected by the pandemic, but they're working to ensure continuity.
Since last week's update, Microsoft has continued to monitor the situation and make necessary adjustments to maintain their cloud services.
