Enable auto-provisioning on to improve Microsoft Defender for Cloud insights.
Description#
Select resources such as virtual machines (VMs) and VM scale sets require an agent to be installed to collect additional information from the operating system (OS). This information is used to identify missing security updates and additional threats.
By turning auto-provisioning on, Microsoft Defender for Cloud automatically deploys an Azure Monitor agent to VMs on a regular basis.
Recommendation#
Consider enabling auto-provisioning to improve Azure Microsoft Defender for Cloud VM insights.
