Host Template: Cloud - Azure - Redis

Overview Copied

Azure Redis Cache is based on the popular open source Redis Cache. It gives you access to a secure, dedicated Redis Cache, managed by Microsoft and accessible from any application within Azure. Azure Redis Cache is available in a variety of tiers, (i.e. Basic, Standard, Premium), offering an expanded set of throughput and consistent low-latency data access to power fast, scalable Azure applications.

This Host Template includes the following Service Checks:

Azure - Redis - CPU Usage

The CPU usage as a percentage

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

[Supports Dynamic Thresholds]

%

used_memory_percentage: ​$WARNINGDT;70;85$,$CRITICALDT;90;95$

[Supports Dynamic Thresholds]

%
Azure - Redis - Memory Used Ratio

The ratio of memory allocated to Redis to memory being used by Redis

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

N/A N/A
Azure - Redis - Memory Used

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

N/A B
Azure - Redis - Server Load

The maximum percentage load on the server

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

server_load: ​$WARNINGDT;70;85$,$CRITICALDT;90;95$

Note

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

Dynamic Thresholds Support Copied

Some Service Checks within this Host Template support Dynamic Thresholds for Opsview Enterprise.

Prerequisites for monitoring Copied

Provide Subscription Access Copied

To use this Host Template you will need to provide access to the subscription you wish to monitor. Navigate to the Subscriptions section and select your Subscription.

In the Subscription to be monitored, click Access Control (IAM).

Then click the Add button, select the required role and select the application, once for each of the following roles:

Usage Instructions Copied

Please review the overall Cloud - Azure Opspack documentation for details on prerequisites, known issues, and other necessary configurations that apply to all Host Templates in the Opspack.

Add this Host Template Copied

Add the Cloud - Azure - Redis Host Template to your Opsview Monitor host. If the resource you’re monitoring has no hostname or public IP, then open the Advanced settings pane and change Host Check Command to Always assumed to be UP.

Note

For more information, refer to the documentation on Adding Host Templates to Hosts.

Add and configure Variables Copied

The Service Checks in this Host Template use the following variables, and they will be added to your Opsview Monitor instance alongside the Host Template:
