info:
  name: Azure VM Performance Diagnostics Feature Not Enabled
  author: princechaddha
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Ensure that Performance Diagnostics feature is enabled for your Microsoft Azure virtual machine instances to help mitigate VM performance issues. Performance Diagnostics installs a VM extension that runs PerfInsights, available for both Windows and Linux operating systems. PerfInsights collects and analyzes diagnostic information to provide findings and recommendations for performance issues.
  impact: |
    Not enabling Performance Diagnostics may lead to unresolved VM performance issues due to lack of insights into VM's operational state.
  remediation: |
    Enable the Performance Diagnostics feature by installing the AzurePerformanceDiagnostics extension through Azure Portal or Azure CLI commands to mitigate performance issues and ensure optimal VM operation.
