Monitor Azure Storage Actions Preview

  • Artikkeli

When you have critical applications and business processes relying on Azure resources, you want to monitor those resources for their availability, performance, and operation. This article describes the monitoring data generated by Azure Storage Actions. Azure Storage Actions uses Azure Monitor. If you are unfamiliar with the features of Azure Monitor common to all Azure services that use it, read Monitoring Azure resources with Azure Monitor.

Monitoring overview page in Azure portal

The following metrics appear in the Overview page of each storage task.

  • Total number of runs
  • Total number of runs that resulted in an error
  • Total number of objects targeted by task runs
  • Total number of objects operated on
  • Total number of objects where an operation succeeded
  • Total number of objects where an operation failed

The following image shows how these metrics appear in the Overview page.

These metrics include runs from multiple storage task assignments, but only assignments that target storage accounts to which you have read permission. These metrics appear as tiles that you can select to view a list of the task runs which comprise the metric. Each listed task provides a link to a detailed execution report. For more information about how to drill into metrics and reports for each task run, see Analyze storage task runs.

Monitoring data

Azure Storage Actions collects the same kinds of monitoring data as other Azure resources that are described in Monitoring data from Azure resources. For information about the metrics and logs that are created by Azure Storage tasks, see Monitoring Azure Storage Actions data reference.

Collection and routing

Platform metrics and the activity log are collected and stored automatically, but can be routed to other locations by using a diagnostic setting. To learn how to create a diagnostic setting, see Create diagnostic setting to collect platform logs and metrics in Azure.

Analyzing metrics

You can analyze metrics for Azure Storage Actions with metrics from other Azure services using metrics explorer by opening Metrics from the Azure Monitor menu. See Getting started with Azure Metrics Explorer for details on using this tool.

For a list of the platform metrics collected for Azure Storage Actions, see Monitoring Azure Storage Actions metrics. You can also see a list all resource metrics supported in Azure Monitor.

Analyzing logs

Azure Storage Actions don't support resource logs. Azure Storage Actions support the activity log log only. The activity log is a type of platform log in Azure that provides insight into subscription-level events. You can view it independently or route it to Azure Monitor Logs, where you can do much more complex queries using Log Analytics.

Alerts

Azure Monitor alerts proactively notify you when important conditions are found in your monitoring data. They allow you to identify and address issues in your system before your customers notice them. You can set alerts on metrics and the activity log.
