Host Template: Cloud - Azure - Analysis Services Servers

Overview Copied

Azure Analysis Services is a fully managed platform as a service (PaaS) solution that provides enterprise-grade data models in the cloud. It provides advanced mashup and modelling features which allows data to be combined from multiple data sources, metrics to be defined, and data to be secured in a single, trusted tabular semantic data model.

This Host Template allows you to monitor all the metrics you need to efficiently run Azure Analysis Services on Microsoft Azure. After installation, you’ll be able to check the average number of query processing units, average memory in bytes and the average number of connections as well as the current number of established user sessions.

This Host Template includes the following Service Checks:

Service Check Name Description Default Thresholds (Metric: Warning, Critical) UOM
Azure - Analysis Services Server - Connections

Average number of connection requests by status

[Default Timespan = 5mins, Default Check Interval = 5mins]

N/A N/A
Azure - Analysis Services Server - Memory

Average memory status, in bytes

[Default Timespan = 5mins, Default Check Interval = 5mins]

N/A B
Azure - Analysis Services Server - QPU

The average number of query processing units

[Default Timespan = 5mins, Default Check Interval = 5mins]

N/A N/A
Azure - Analysis Services Server - Sessions

Current number of user sessions established

[Default Timespan = 5mins, Default Check Interval = 5mins]

N/A N/A

Note

The “Default Timespan” given for these Service Checks refers to the time period we use when retrieving metrics from Azure.
