Azure Storage Account (Blob, File, Queue, Table)
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 for multiple preselected namespaces, including Azure Storage Account. 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 1.196+
- Environment ActiveGate version 1.195+
This service monitors a part of Storage Account (Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts).
While you have this service configured, you can't have Azure Storage accounts (built-in) service turned on.
To monitor resources of the Microsoft.ClassicStorage/storageAccounts type, check Storage Account Classic and the Cloud services section on the Azure overview page
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 or Technologies & Processes Classic (latest Dynatrace).
- 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.

Additional notes
As newly implemented Azure Storage Accounts and Azure Storage accounts (built-in) monitor the same resources (from the Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts group), they can't be switched on simultaneously.
- Enabling the built-in version will disable all of the generic versions.
- Enabling any of the generic versions will disable the built-in version.
