Service Bus metrics
Azure Service Bus is an enterprise message broker with message queues and publish-subscribe topics (in a namespace). Use the Azure Resource Manager to gather metrics for this resource, then ensure your cloud platform is configured in SolarWinds Observability to collect this resource type's data. See Add an Azure cloud account.
Depending on the subscription pricing tier of your Azure account or its resources, additional metrics may be available for this entity. To collect additional Azure metrics, select the premium pricing tier when configuring your Azure namespaces.
Many of the collected metrics from Azure Service Bus entities are displayed as widgets in SolarWinds Observability explorers; additional metrics may be collected and available in the Metrics Explorer. You can also create an alert for when an entity's metric value moves out of a specific range. See Entities in SolarWinds Observability for information about entity types in SolarWinds Observability.
The following table lists azure.servicebus.namespaces in the search box.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
azure.servicebus.namespaces.abandon_message | AbandonMessage. The total number of messages abandoned over a specified period. |
azure.servicebus.namespaces.active_connections | ActiveConnections. The total number of active connections on a namespace and on an entity in the namespace. The value for this metric is a point-in-time value. Connections that were active immediately after that point in time may not be reflected in the metric. |
azure.servicebus.namespaces.active_messages | ActiveMessages. The average number of active messages in a queue/topic. |
azure.servicebus.namespaces.complete_message | CompleteMessage. The total number of messages completed over a specified period. |
azure.servicebus.namespaces.connections_closed | ConnectionsClosed. The average number of connections closed. The value for this metric is an aggregation and includes all connections that were opened in the aggregation time window. |
azure.servicebus.namespaces.connections_opened | ConnectionsOpened. The average number of connections opened. The value for this metric is an aggregation and includes all connections that were opened in the aggregation time window. |
azure.servicebus.namespaces.deadlettered_messages | DeadletteredMessages. The average number of dead-lettered messages in a queue/topic. |
azure.servicebus.namespaces.incoming_messages | IncomingMessages. The total number of events or messages sent to Service Bus over a specified period. For basic and standard tiers, incoming auto-forwarded messages are included in this metric. For the premium tier, they aren't included. |
