Azure

With Azure, you can monitor Azure metrics and view Azure logs.

Azure Metrics

Grafana Alloy enables you to send metrics from Azure resources to Grafana Cloud. The Resource Graph identifies which resources to gather metrics from. Grafana Alloy, embedded with the azure-metrics-exporter, gathers metrics and sends them to Grafana Cloud.

To get Azure Metrics running, refer to Configure Azure Metrics.

Preconfigured dashboards

You can use the filters on any dashboard to refine your data. Filters are appropriate for each dashboard, and may include:

Data source
Job
Resource group
Subscription name
Resource name
Bucket name
Instance
Namespace

Filtering a dashboard to refine data by resource group

Additionally, use the time range selector to change time period of your data.
