Troubleshooting for Windows
Azure performance counters don't show up at all
The AzureEnhancedMonitoring process collects performance metrics in Azure. If the process isn't running in your virtual machine (VM), no performance metrics can be collected.
The installation directory of the Azure Extension for SAP is empty
Issue
The installation directory C:\Packages\Plugins\Microsoft.AzureCAT.AzureEnhancedMonitoring.MonitorX64Windows\<version> is empty.
Solution
The extension isn't installed. Determine whether it is a proxy issue. You might need to restart the machine or install the VM extension again.
Some Azure performance counters are missing
The AzureEnhancedMonitoring Windows process collects performance metrics in Azure. The process gets data from several sources. Some configuration data is collected locally, and some performance metrics are read from Azure Monitor.
If troubleshooting by using SAP Note 1999351 doesn't resolve the issue, open an SAP customer support message. For a Windows VM use the component BC-OP-NT-AZR or BC-OP-LNX-AZR for a Linux virtual machine. Attach the log file C:\Packages\Plugins\Microsoft.AzureCAT.AzureEnhancedMonitoring.MonitorX64Windows\<version>\logapp.txt to the incident.

| Error description | Solutions |
|---|---|
| no auth token | More info: The extension can't obtain authentication token to access VM metrics in Azure monitor. To deliver VM metrics it needs access to VM resources like VM itself, all disks and all NICs attached to a VM Solution: Enable VM managed Identity and give it a reader role for a VM resource group. When you use a setup script, the script does it for you. Normally you don’t need to enable and assign VM managed identity manually. |
