Save your changes to the VM. Optionally, define a scaling group to increase the number of VMs running your application automatic scaling actions. See Manage scaling groups
If your VM is not running, deploy to launch the VM. Wait several minutes for the server to return metrics
On the VM icon near the top right corner, click the metrics symbol.
Or in the Virtual appliance, go to Monitoring → Virtual machines
