Methods and apparatus to automatically configure monitoring of a virtual machine are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a service analyzer to: identify a first virtual machine in a first application definition, the first application definition identifying virtual machines included in a first application, the first virtual machine currently running in the first application; and detect a second virtual machine currently running in the first application, the second virtual machine not included in the first application definition; and a virtual machine analyzer to: generate a second application definition, the second application definition created by adding the second virtual machine to the first application definition; and store the second application definition in an application configuration database.

Methods and apparatus to automatically configure monitoring of a virtual machine

Methods and apparatus to automatically configure monitoring of a virtual machine are disclosed. An example method includes identifying a first virtual machine in a first application definition. The example method also includes automatically installing an agent on a second virtual machine when (1) the second virtual machine is not included in the first application definition and (2) the second virtual machine is identified as having a designated configuration, and updating a status of the agent of the second virtual machine to indicate that the installed agent is running. The example method also includes applying a monitoring policy to the second virtual machine, the monitoring policy to be executed by the agent based on a resource automatically identified by the agent of the second virtual machine.
