To create an Azure Monitor workspace, use one of the following Resource Manager templates with any of the standard deployment options.

{
    "$schema": "http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
    "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
    "parameters": {
        "name": {
            "type": "string"
        },
        "location": {
            "type": "string",
            "defaultValue": ""
        }
    },
    "resources": [
        {
            "type": "microsoft.monitor/accounts",
            "apiVersion": "2021-06-03-preview",
            "name": "[parameters('name')]",
            "location": "[if(empty(parameters('location')), resourceGroup().location, parameters('location'))]"
        }
    ]
}

@description('Specify the name of the workspace.')
param workspaceName string

@description('Specify the location for the workspace.')
param location string = resourceGroup().location

resource workspace 'microsoft.monitor/accounts@2021-06-03-preview' = {
  name: workspaceName
  location: location
}

1. Open the Azure Monitor workspaces menu in the Azure portal.

2. Select your workspace.

3. Select Delete.

   

To delete an AzureMonitor workspace use az resource delete

For example:

  az monitor account delete --name <azure-monitor-workspace-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name>

For more details, visit Azure CLI for Azure Monitor Workspace

1. Open the Azure Monitor workspace menu in the Azure portal.
2. Select your workspace.
3. Select Linked Grafana workspaces.
4. Select a Grafana workspace.

Create a link between the Azure Monitor workspace and the Grafana workspace by updating the Azure Kubernetes Service cluster that you're monitoring.

If your cluster is already configured to send data to an Azure Monitor managed service for Prometheus, you must disable it first using the following command:

az aks update --disable-azure-monitor-metrics -g <cluster-resource-group> -n <cluster-name> 

Then, either enable or re-enable using the following command:

az aks update --enable-azure-monitor-metrics -n <cluster-name> -g <cluster-resource-group> --azure-monitor-workspace-resource-id 
<azure-monitor-workspace-name-resource-id> --grafana-resource-id  <grafana-workspace-name-resource-id>

Output

"azureMonitorProfile": {
    "metrics": {
        "enabled": true,
        "kubeStateMetrics": {
            "metricAnnotationsAllowList": "",
            "metricLabelsAllowlist": ""
        }
    }
}
