Azure Storage Account Classic (Blob, File, Queue, Table) monitoring

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 Classic. 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 Classic (Microsoft.ClassicStorage/storageAccounts). You can find the already monitored resources on the Azure overview page in the Cloud services section or use a dashboard preset.

To monitor resources of the Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts (including Storage, StorageV2 and BlobStorage) type, check Storage Accounts and the Storage accounts 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

  1. Go to Technologies & Processes or Technologies & Processes Classic (latest Dynatrace).
  2. Filter by service name and select the relevant custom device group.
  3. Once you select the custom device group, you're on the custom device group overview page.
  4. 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.

Name
Description
Unit
Dimensions
Recommended
Availability
The percentage of availability for the storage service or the specified API operation. Availability is calculated by taking the TotalBillableRequests value and dividing it by the number of applicable requests, including those that produced unexpected errors. All unexpected errors result in reduced availability for the storage service or the specified API operation.
Percent

Applicable
Egress
The amount of egress data, in bytes. This number includes egress from an external client into Azure Storage as well as egress within Azure. As a result, this number does not reflect billable egress.
