Azure Monitor Metrics Receiver

An SDK wrapper that uses Azure Monitor SDK. Lets you receive metrics of Azure resources using Azure Monitor API in 3 ways:

• Resource Target
• Resource Group Target
• Subscription Target

Azure Credential

Uses client_id, client_secret and tenant_id for authentication (access token), and subscription_id for accessing Azure resources.

Here how to find each of them:

subscription_id can be found under Overview->Essentials in the Azure portal for your application/service.

client_id and client_secret can be obtained by registering an application under Azure Active Directory.

tenant_id can be found under Azure Active Directory->Properties.

Resource Target

get metrics of a specific resource.

type ResourceTarget struct {
	ResourceID   string
	Metrics      []string
	Aggregations []string
}

ResourceID can be found under Overview->Essentials->JSON View (link) in the Azure portal for your application/service.

Must start with 'resourceGroups/...' ('/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' must be removed from the beginning of Resource ID property value)

Metrics is an array of the name of the metrics that you want to collect. Pay attention: all metrics should be valid metrics of the resource target.

• If the array is empty, all available metrics of the resource target will be collected.

Aggregations is an array of the metrics aggregation type value to collect. The available aggregations are:

• Total
• Count
• Average
• Minimum
• Maximum

• If the array is empty, all aggregation types values will be collected for each metric.

Resource Group Target

get metrics of resources under specific resource group, using resource types.

type ResourceGroupTarget struct {
    resourceGroup string
    resources     []*Resource
}

resourceGroup is the name of the resource group.

resources is an array of resources that are under the same resourceGroup.

• Info about Resource can be found in Subscription Target section.

Subscription Target

get metrics of resources under the subscription, using resource types.

type Resource struct {
    resourceType string
    metrics      []string
    aggregations []string
}

resourceType is the type of resources you want to collect metrics of.

• Info about metrics and aggregations can be found in Resource Target section.
