The only configuration in a VM insights DCR is the Log Analytics workspace and whether or not to collect processes and dependencies data. Instead of creating a separate DCR for each machine, you should use a single DCR for each Log Analytics workspace you use for VM insights and associate that DCR with multiple machines. You may want to create separate DCRs if you want to collect processes and dependencies from some machines but not from others.

You shouldn't modify the VM insights DCR. If you need to collect additional data from the monitored machines, such as event logs and security logs, create additional DCRs and associate them with the same machines. You can get guidance for creating these DCRs from [Collect data with Azure Monitor Agent](../vm/data-collection.md).
