What's this?
Basic

The Azure Database Account data stream collects and aggregates database account related metrics from Azure Database Account type resources where it can be used for analysis, visualization, and alerting. The Azure Database Account will periodically retrieve the Azure Monitor metrics using the Azure REST APIs as MetricList. Additional Azure API calls will be executed to retrieve information regarding the resources targeted by the user.

Requirements

Before you start, check the Authentication and costs section.

Setup

Follow these step-by-step instructions on how to set up an Azure metrics integration.

Data stream specific configuration notes

Period:: (string) Reporting interval. Metrics will have a timegrain of 5 minutes, so the Period configuration option for database_account should have a value of 300s or multiple of 300sfor relevant results.

Resource IDs:: ([]string) The fully qualified ID's of the resource, including the resource name and resource type. Has the format /subscriptions/{guid}/resourceGroups/{resource-group-name}/providers/{resource-provider-namespace}/{resource-type}/{resource-name}. Should return a list of resources.

Resource Groups:: ([]string) This option will return all database accounts inside the resource group.

If no resource filter is specified, then all database accounts inside the entire subscription will be considered.

The primary aggregation value will be retrieved for all the metrics contained in the namespaces. The aggregation options are avg, sum, min, max, total, count.
