Create New Workbook and add custom cmdlets
Go to Monitor ->Virtual Machines (Preview) page and open ‘View Work Books’
Add New Work Book, by clicking ‘+ New’ button there.
Paste the following sample Log Analytics Qury and try a ‘Run Query’ there
Perf | where CounterName == “Pages/sec” and ObjectName == “Memory” | summarize AggregatedValue = avg(CounterValue) by bin(TimeGenerated, 1m), Computer | render timechart
Save the Workbook with the desired name.
Now the workbook will appear in your workbook collection page as below:
Open the new workbook created to see the custom counter created by these steps. You may pin this workbook to dashboard for easy access and usage
