+
+## Azure Virtual Machine
+You can declare to scrape an Azure Virtual Machine via the `VirtualMachine` resource type.
+
+The following fields need to be provided:
+- `virtualMachineName` - The name of the virtual machine
+
+All supported metrics are documented in the official [Azure Monitor documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/metrics-supported#microsoftcomputevirtualmachines).
+
+Example:
+```yaml
+name: demo_virtualmachine_percentage_cpu
+description: "Average percentage cpu usage of our 'promitor-virtual-machine' virtual machine"
+resourceType: VirtualMachine
+virtualMachineName: promitor-virtual-machine
+azureMetricConfiguration:
+  metricName: Percentage CPU
+  aggregation:
+    type: Average
+```
