Disable change tracking in Azure - azure

I have a Automation account AA1 with Log Analytics workspaces LA1 connected. I have used LA1 for Change tracking, Now that i have on boarded all Azure VMs from 2 subscriptions it was time to on board Non Azure VMs which was an on premise VM(And i did manage to do it) but while enabling Change tracking i selected Enable on all available and future machines
instead of Enable on selected machines now manage machines option is grayed out and i can't change this. How to disable or revert back the changes.
I found this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/log-analytics/log-analytics-add-solutions#remove-a-management-solution but this is asking to delete solution itself(not sure what this does).
Instead i went to the solution>Workspace Data Sources>VMs> selected a VM> Disconnect(Thinking this right way) but the disconnecting is still happening.
A proper step by step guide will be appreciated.

You should delete the solution first, then you can re-configure it again.
Follow this doc List installed monitoring solutions, find the related solutions -> then delete all the related solution. The screenshot as below:
Note: if you also enable it in the "Update Management" in azure automation, you should also delete the solution like Updates(log_analytics_name).
After that, you can re-configure "Change tracking".

When Creating VM in Azure 'Select Size' is Greyed Out

I am new to Azure and started a new free trial account. As one of the first things to try, I decided to create a VM. As I followed steps in Azure portal, I was stuck when it came to 'Select Size', because all of them are greyed out; and per my understanding, the field is required.
I was using the default region (USEast), and I selected no AZ and 'Ubuntu 18.04 LTS' as the image the VM is based upon.
I googled this issue on the internet. And I have done the following to rectify the issue but no luck:
switched to use different PC with different IP (as some suggested)
"clear All filter' in Select Size window and specified VM size
selected different VM images
ensured there is a credit attached to my subscription (as some suggested)
ensured there is no resources created to avoid hit the quotas (as some suggested)
This is something very basic, and it should've worked out-of-the-box. I am disappointed with the experience. But I want to give it the benefit of doubt and will continue to try out Azure if this issue is resolved. Maybe something very simple that I might've missed on my side.
Thank you so much for the help in advance.
Due to COVID-19 most of the enterprise user working from home and the usage of Azure and Microsoft service has increased a lot. Microsoft says that there has been a colossal 775 percent increase in usage of its cloud services.
All that Azure usage appears to have led to users in many regions "observing deployments for some compute resource types in these regions drop below our typical 99.99 per cent success rates". Which goes a long way towards explaining the inability to create resources as The Register revealed last week.
Concurrently, we monitor support requests and, if needed, encourage customers to consider alternative regions or alternative resource types, depending on their timeline and requirements.
Try to change your deployment region.
Most of the VM's we are unable to create. This is due to heavy toll on the resources.

For time being seems like we have to opt for some other size.

Moving resources from disabled to new subscription in Azure

I've got all my stuff under a subscription that got disabled (changed the employer). I registered a new one (pay-as-you-go on my own credit card). Attempting to move the deactivated sites to the new one failed and the portal says:
Resources cannot be moved from disabled subscriptions.
I've followed the link provided and googled around finding that "...source and destination subscriptions must be active...". That's not very helpful in my case as I have no means to make the admins managing the old subscription reactivate it, not even for a short while.
Do I have to scratch everything and re-publish the application? It won't let me do that on the same URL (and re-configurating the SQL server/DB might cause addition issues). Google gave me nada and I wonder if there's a way to simply move the stuff somehow in the portal.
I can't wait for the reply from MS support because the site manages a register for people with some mental disabilities and not being able to access the material is a huge blow on their daily peace.
Oh, I'm running the site pro-bono (out of my own pocket for the unfortunate souls) so a solution that's pricey might be a show-stopper.
This happened to me. Go to the subscription and reactive it by converting it to a pay-as-you-go subscription. Then you can download and move resources. If you don't need the subscription after that, you can delete it.

Accident delete disk BLOB with Windows Azure (MSA) Virtual Machine (VM)

I was in list Virtual Machines, switch to Cloud Services, click to delete one, BUT Azure portal was somelike freeze at first tab and remove me VM!!!
I tried to do something with support but exist there only call support.
What can I do?
How can I know undelete data BLOB?
Where to go?
There is no undelete feature in Storage service.
The best you can do is to contact support and hope they can do anything about this.
Anyway it is really strange behavior you observed. And all delete operations do ask whether you are sure you want to complete the operation. Either you didn't carefully read what is the confirmation about, or really there has been issue with the portal. Fact is that I've been using the portal ever since its preview and never occurred such behavior. But you never know what could happen...
Without subscription nobody from Microsoft help with deleted VM.
There is no recommend in current date from MS.

Azure live cost monitoring

In my Azure environment I am often tinkering around, adding new services, scaling roles up and down, etc. The problem is that I am always unsure as to how I may have affected my monthly bill. I'm also scared of forgetting to kill services after I don't need them (for example, I mistakenly had a Reporting Service running for a few weeks - very expensive!).
I'm looking for an add-on or service which can give be a basic idea of how much money I am consuming in Azure. I don't need something complicated. A graph or two could be great (perhaps a burn down).
I found these but without luck:
Foglight for Azure: This didn't work for me. All my figures showed up as 0.
Active Cloud Monitoring: This has been removed from the Azure add-ons.
Does anyone know of such a solution?
thank you for the question and the feedback. The new Azure portal, which is currently in public preview, does have this feature. You can try out the new portal at https://portal.azure.com/ . Once there, click on Billing tab on the left of the screen, which should bring up a billing summary for all your subscriptions. Click on the subscription that you need to check, and that will show you the billing details for that subscription. Details include subscription status, days left, current charges, burn down, and a breakdown of current charges by resource.
Please try this out and send your feedback using the "Give feedback" link at the top of the new portal page. You will have to click on your account name to see the "Give feedback" option in the drop down.
If you are using "Enterprise Agreement" as a billing option, the Azure portal does not provide sufficient billing information.
You could use Microsoft Power BI to import the data from Azure and use it for reporting. In Power BI you can use the Content pack "Microsoft Azure Enterprise" and connect it to your subscription. You will need the Enrollment number for your Enterprise Agreement and an API key to access the data.
A detailed explanation can be found in this blog entry.

Completely remove a subscription from Management Portal

In my Windows Azure Management Portal, I still see the "3-Month Free Trial" subscription although it has already expired and been canceled automatically. I've deleted both the hosted service in it and also the database, but it still doesn't disappear.
What can I do to completely remove a subscription?
According to the Azure support it is (currently) not possible to delete canceled subscriptions.
Greetings from Microsoft Azure. I reviewed your request and would
like to mention that there is unfortunately no option to remove the
disabled subscription from the Azure portal. This is by design to
enable customer’s view the subscriptions purchased by them right from
the day the Azure account was created.
I consider this a bad design choice but that probably is just me.
Visit the portal. In the upper-right corner, you should see a link for Billing.
This will take you to a list of your subscriptions.
Select your subscription. Then, on the right side, you'll see a few options, and one toward the bottom should be 'Cancel Subscription.'
I cancelled a subscription a few months ago by calling support, and have had it sitting in the interface ever since. Recently they notified me that they are going to delete it (and its associated storage) soon. I expect it will disappear then. Therefore I think they keep the subscription around for a while in case you ring them up and say "Heh, I didn't really want to cancel that!".
Additionally you also cannot get your account completely deleted either. You can request for subscriptions to be cancelled (as per original question) and Azure Support can action that but they can't/won't remove your actual account/login.
I'm not sure, but according to this page it seems that subscriptions are permanently removed 30 to 90 days after cancellation.
You can remove your subscription via Azure PowerShell.
