The idea behind writing this script is to have an automated solution to monitor availability of any Azure VMs. The script fetches the current server status, saves it in an Azure Table. Each script execution is one poll. So the second time the script runs, it fetches the current server status of VMs and then compares it to the previous value. If there are any changes to the server status during polling, such server details will be written to a hash table. Finally the details of the servers can be sent to an email.
Since we are monitoring the VM status from “RUNNING” to “VM STOPPED”, this will eliminate the scenarios, where VMs are stopped manually or as per a scheduled shutdown automation script. In these cases the VM status changes from “RUNNING” to “VM DEALLOCATED”.
Feel free to customize the script to add logic if you want to monitor…
