For information about differences between classic services and other services, see Migrate from Azure classic (formerly "built-in") services to cloud services.
Dynatrace ingests metrics from Azure Metrics API for Azure IoT Hub. You can view metrics for each service instance, split metrics into multiple dimensions, and create custom charts that you can pin to your dashboards.
Prerequisites
- Dynatrace version 1.199+
- Environment ActiveGate version 1.195+
Enable monitoring
To learn how to enable service monitoring, see Enable service monitoring.
View service metrics
You can view the service metrics in your Dynatrace environment either on the custom device overview page or on your Dashboards page.
View metrics on the custom device overview page
To access the custom device overview page
- Go to Technologies & Processes Classic.
- Filter by service name and select the relevant custom device group.
- Once you select the custom device group, you're on the custom device group overview page.
- The custom device group overview page lists all instances (custom devices) belonging to the group. Select an instance to view the custom device overview page.
View metrics on your dashboard
Once you add a service to monitoring, a preset dashboard for the respective service containing all recommended metrics is automatically created on your Dashboards page. You can look for specific dashboards by filtering by Preset and then by Name.
For existing monitored services, you might need to resave your credentials for the preset dashboard to appear on the Dashboards page. To resave your credentials, go to Settings > Cloud and virtualization > Azure, select the desired Azure instance, then select Save.
You can't make changes on a preset dashboard directly, but you can clone and edit it. To clone a dashboard, open the browse menu (…) and select Clone.
To remove a dashboard from the dashboards list, you can hide it. To hide a dashboard, open the browse menu (…) and select Hide.
Hiding a dashboard doesn't affect other users.
Available metrics
This service monitors a part of Azure IoT Hub (Microsoft.Devices/IotHubs). While you have this service configured, you can't have Azure Iot Hub (built-in) service turned on.

| Routing - telemetry messages delivered | The number of times messages were successfully delivered to all endpoints using IoT Hub routing.

If a message is delivered to the same endpoint multiple times, this value increases by one for each successful delivery. | Count | | |
| Routing - telemetry messages dropped | The number of times messages were dropped by IoT Hub routing due to dead endpoints. This value does not count messages delivered to fallback route as dropped messages are not delivered there. | Count | | |
| Routing - telemetry messages orphaned | The number of times messages were orphaned by IoT Hub routing because they didn't match any routing rules (including the fallback rule). | Count | | |
| Routing - telemetry messages incompatible | The number of times IoT Hub routing failed to deliver messages due to an incompatibility with the endpoint. This value does not include retries. | Count | | |
| Routing - messages delivered to fallback | The number of times IoT Hub routing delivered messages to the endpoint associated with the fallback route. | Count | | |

| Event grid deliveries | The number of IoT Hub events published to Event Grid. Use the Result dimension for the number of successful and failed requests. | Routing result, Event type | Count | |
| Event grid latency | The average latency (milliseconds) from when the Iot Hub event was generated to when the event was published to Event Grid. This number is an average between all event types. Use the EventType dimension to see latency of a specific type of event. | Event type | MilliSecond | |
| Routing deliveries (preview) | The number of times IoT Hub attempted to deliver messages to all endpoints using routing. To see the number of successful or failed attempts, use the Result dimension. To see the reason of failure, like invalid, dropped, or orphaned, use the FailureReasonCategory dimension. You can also use the EndpointName and EndpointType dimensions to understand how many messages were delivered to your different endpoints. The metric value increases by one for each delivery attempt, including if the message is delivered to multiple endpoints or if the message is delivered to the same endpoint multiple times. | Endpoint type, Endpoint name, Failure reason category, Result, Routing source | Count | |
