Azure Storage Accounts

Dynatrace ingests metrics from Azure Metrics API for Azure Storage Accounts. 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

To enable monitoring for this service, you need to set up integration with Azure Monitor.

Add the service to monitoring

To view service metrics, you need to add the service to monitoring 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.

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

View service metrics

You can view Azure service metrics in your Dynatrace environment on the Azure subscription page or on your own dashboard.

View metrics on the Azure account page

To access metrics on the Azure account page

1. In the Dynatrace menu, go to Azure.
2. Choose the Azure subscription.
3. Select the service whose metrics you want to check. Metrics for the selected service are visible under the infographic in the service section.

View metrics on a dashboard

You can create your own dashboard for viewing Azure service metrics. For information on how to create dashboards, see Create and edit Dynatrace dashboards.

Example of Azure built-in metrics

Available metrics

Note: This service monitors Storage Accounts (Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts). You can find the already monitored resources on the Azure overview page in Storage accounts section. The Storage, StorageV2 and BlobStorage service types are supported. To monitor resources of the Microsoft.ClassicStorage/storageAccounts type, check Storage Account Classic and the Cloud services section on the Azure overview page.

Additional notes

As newly implemented Azure Storage Accounts and Azure Storage accounts (built-in) monitor the same resources (from the Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts group), they can't be switched on simultaneously.

• Enabling the built-in version will disable all of the generic versions.
• Enabling any of the generic versions will disable the built-in version.
