Prerequisites

• Use the following parameters to specify the API endpoint in the request URL:
• ${SUBSCRIPTION_ID}

• ${STORAGE_ACCOUNT_ID}

Use the following example to help locate values in Azure:



• Configure OAuth 2.0 Azure credentials with the following values:
  • Scope: https://management.azure.com/.default
  • Access Token URL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/{TENANTID}/oauth2/v2.0/token
    
    

    Although "(optional)" appears next to the Scope field in the UI, this value is required for API pollers based on this template.
    
    

• The Blob Storage Account has access control to the Application with at least the Reader role.
  
  

Notes

• Although "(optional)" appears next to Scope in the UI, a scope is required for API pollers based on this template.
• Default thresholds are not set for this template.
• Here is a request example: https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/951c996c-859e-446a-8fc0-87b753c94dd0/resourceGroups/myResource/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/myresourcediag800/blobServices/default/providers/microsoft.insights/metrics?interval=PT1H&metricnames=BlobCapacity,BlobCount,ContainerCount&aggregation=Total,Average&api-version=2019-07-01

Available metrics

Storage Account - Used Capacity

The amount of data, in bytes, used by all the extents from the files that store the tenant data and associated metadata.

Unit: Bytes

Storage Account - Total Transactions

The number of requests made to a storage service or the specified API operation. This number includes successful and failed requests, as well as requests which produced errors.

Unit: Count

Storage Account - Ingress

The amount of ingress data, in MB. This number includes ingress from an external client into Azure Storage as well as ingress within Azure.

Unit: MB

Storage Account - Egress

The amount of egress data, in MB. This number includes egress from an external client into Azure Storage as well as egress within Azure. As a result, this number does not reflect billable egress.

Unit: MB

Storage Account - Success Server Latency

The average latency used by Azure Storage to process a successful request in milliseconds. This value does not include the network latency specified in AverageE2ELatency.

Unit: Milliseconds

Storage Account - Success E2E Latency

The average end-to-end latency of successful requests. This value includes the required processing time within Azure Storage to read the request, send the response, and receive acknowledgment of the response.

Unit: Milliseconds

Storage Account - Availability

The percentage of availability for the storage service. Availability is calculated by taking the TotalBillableRequests value and dividing it by the number of applicable requests, including those that produced unexpected errors. All unexpected errors result in reduced availability for the storage service or the specified API operation.

Unit: Percent

Blob Services - Blob Capacity

The amount of storage used by the storage account’s Blob service in MB.

Unit: MB

Blob Services - Blob Count

The number of Blob in the storage account’s Blob service.

Unit: Count

Blob Services - Blob Container Count

The number of containers in the storage account’s Blob service.

Unit: Count

File Services - File Capacity

The amount of storage used by the storage account’s File service in MB.

Unit: MB

File Services - File Count

The number of files in the storage account’s File service.

Unit: Count

File Services - File Share Count

The number of file shares in the storage account’s File service.

Unit: Count

Queue Services - Queue Capacity

The amount of storage used by the storage account’s Queue service in MB.

Unit: MB

Queue services - Queue Count

The number of queue(s) in the storage account’s Queue service.

Unit: Count

Queue services - Queue Message Count

The approximate number of queue messages in the storage account’s Queue service.

Unit: Count

Table Services - Table Capacity

The amount of storage used by the storage account’s Table service in MB.

Unit: MB

Table Services - Table Count

The amount of tables in the storage account’s Table service.

Unit: Count

Table Services - Table Entity Count
