New Relic offers an integration for reporting your Azure virtual machine scale sets data. This document explains how to activate this integration and describes the data that can be reported.

## Activate integration [#activate]

To enable the integration follow standard procedures to [activate your Azure service in New Relic](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/microsoft-azure-integrations/getting-started/activate-azure-integrations).

## Configuration and polling [#polling]

You can change the polling frequency and filter data using [configuration options](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/new-relic-integrations/getting-started/configure-polling-frequency-data-collection-cloud-integrations).

Default [polling](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/microsoft-azure-integrations/getting-started/polling-intervals-azure-integrations) information for the Azure virtual machine scale sets integration:

-   New Relic polling interval: 5 minutes

## Find and use data [#find-data]

To find your integration data, go to **[one.newrelic.com > All capabilities](https://one.newrelic.com/all-capabilities) > Infrastructure > Azure** and select an integration.

You can [query and explore your data](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/using-new-relic/data/understand-data/query-new-relic-data) using the following [event type](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/data-apis/understand-data/new-relic-data-types/#event-data):

| Entity   | Event type                          | Provider                      |
| -------- | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| ScaleSet | `AzureVirtualMachineScaleSetSample` | `AzureVirtualMachineScaleSet` |

For more on how to use your data, see [Understand and use integration data](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/integrations/find-use-infrastructure-integration-data).

## Metric data [#metrics]

This integration collects Azure virtual machine scale sets data for ScaleSet.
