Host Template: Cloud - Azure - Storage Accounts

Overview Copied

Azure Storage Accounts is Microsoft’s storage solution for the cloud. It allows optimized storage for massive amounts of unstructured data. This may include text or binary data, such as images, video or audio.

This Host Template allows you to monitor all the metrics you need to efficiently run Azure Storage Accounts on Microsoft Azure. After installation, you’ll be able to check the used capacity in bytes, the percentage availability for the storage service as well as the average end-to-end latency amongst many other metrics.

This Host Template includes the following Service Checks:

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:

Add Subscription to Application
