Azure Redis Cache (built-in)

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 Redis Cache. 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

  • Environment ActiveGate
  • To disable monitoring of built-in services, you need Environment ActiveGate version 1.245+ and Dynatrace version 1.247+.

This service monitors Azure Cache for Redis (Microsoft.Cache/redis).

Enterprise Azure Cache for Redis service (Microsoft.Cache/redisEnterprise) currently cannot be monitored; to request this type of monitoring, please create an RFE (Request for Enhancement).
