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 Megabytes. This number includes ingress from an external client into Azure Storage as well as ingress within Azure.

Unit: Megabytes

Storage Account - Egress

The amount of egress data, in Megabytes. 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: Megabytes

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.
