Azure Cosmos DB (built-in)

Dynatrace ingests metrics from Azure Metrics API for Azure Cosmos DB. You can view metrics for each service instance, split metrics into multiple dimensions, and create custom charts that you can pin to your dashboards.

Prerequisites

• Environment ActiveGate
• To disable monitoring of built-in services you need Environment ActiveGate version 1.245+ and Dynatrace version 1.247+

Enable monitoring

Add the service to monitoring

To view service metrics, the service needs to be monitored in your Dynatrace environment.

Monitor resources based on tags

You can choose to monitor resources based on existing Azure tags, as Dynatrace automatically imports them from service instances.
To monitor resources based on tags

1. In the Dynatrace menu, go to Settings and select Cloud and virtualization > Azure.

2. On the Azure overview page, select the Edit icon for the Azure instance.

3. Set Resources to be monitored to Monitor resources selected by tags.

4. Enter key/value pairs to identify resources to exclude from monitoring or include in monitoring. You can enter multiple key/value pairs: each time you enter a pair, another empty row is displayed for you to edit as needed.

5. Select Save to save your configuration.

   To import the Azure tags automatically into Dynatrace, turn on Capture Azure tags automatically.
