Metrics recap

How metrics are collected

• Azure automatically collects metrics from resources.
• No installation or coding required.

Example: Storage account metrics

 

• Transactions: How many read and write operations occur.
• Ingress: The amount of data uploaded to your storage.
• Egress: The amount of data downloaded from your storage.
• Availability: The percentage of time your storage is accessible.
• All updated in real time.

Customizing your view

Multiple metrics

Split metrics

Applying aggregations

Metrics vs Logs

• Metrics: Numerical and time series based.
• Logs: Detailed event level information.

Why metrics matter

 

• Detect issues early before they impact users.
• Understand usage patterns and capacity needs.
• Set up alerts to notify you when thresholds are crossed.
• Create dashboards that provide a unified view of all your resources.
