Azure Integration - Blob Storage

Mackerel supports obtaining and monitoring Blob Storage metrics in Azure Integration. Billable targets are determined using the conversion 1 Blob Storage = 1 Micro Host.

Please refer to the following page for Azure Integration configuration methods and a list of supported Azure services.

Notes

Data Lake Storage is not supported when Hierarchical Namespace is enabled.

Obtaining metrics

The metrics available with Azure Integration Application Gateway support vary by performance tier. The metrics that can be obtained at each performance tier are as follows. For Metric explanations, please refer to the Azure documentation.

Standard

The maximum number of metrics obtainable can be calculated using the formula 3 × (number of operation types) + 2 × (number of authentication types) + 2 (if Secondary is enabled) + 1 × (Number of response types)[^1].

Graph name	Metric	Metric name in Mackerel	Unit	Aggregation Type
Availability (ApiName)	Availability	azure.blob_storage.availability_apiname.#.percent	percentage	Average
Availability (Authentication)	Availability	azure.blob_storage.availability_authentication.#.percent	percentage	Average
Ingress/Egress	Ingress Egress	azure.blob_storage.ingress_egress.#.ingress azure.blob_storage.ingress_egress.#.egress	bytes	Total
Success E2E Latency	SuccessE2ELatency	azure.blob_storage.success_e2e_latency.#.milliseconds	float	Average
Success Server Latency	SuccessServerLatency	azure.blob_storage.success_server_latency.#.milliseconds	float	Average
Transactions (Authentication)	Transactions	azure.blob_storage.transactions_authentication.#.count	integer	Total
Transactions (ResponseType)	Transactions	azure.blob_storage.transactions_responsetype.#.count	integer	Total

Premium

The maximum number of metrics obtainable can be calculated using the formula 3 × (number of operation types) + 2 × (number of authentication types) + 1 × (number of Blob Storage access levels) + 2 (if Secondary is enabled) + 1 × (Number of response types)[^1].

Graph name	Metric	Metric name in Mackerel	Unit	Aggregation Type
Availability (ApiName)	Availability	azure.blob_storage.availability_apiname.#.percent	percentage	Average
Availability (Authentication)	Availability	azure.blob_storage.availability_authentication.#.percent	percentage	Average
Blob Provisioned Size	BlobProvisionedSize	azure.blob_storage.blob_provisioned_size.#.bytes	bytes	Average
Ingress/Egress	Ingress Egress	azure.blob_storage.ingress_egress.#.ingress azure.blob_storage.ingress_egress.#.egress	bytes	Total
Success E2E Latency	SuccessE2ELatency	azure.blob_storage.success_e2e_latency.#.milliseconds	float	Average
Success Server Latency	SuccessServerLatency	azure.blob_storage.success_server_latency.#.milliseconds	float	Average
Transactions (Authentication)	Transactions	azure.blob_storage.transactions_authentication.#.count	integer	Total
Transactions (ResponseType)	Transactions	azure.blob_storage.transactions_responsetype.#.count	integer	Total
