# Azure Monitor Input Plugin

The `azure_monitor` plugin, gathers metrics of each Azure
resource using Azure Monitor API. Uses **Logz.io
azure-monitor-metrics-receiver** package -
an SDK wrapper for Azure Monitor SDK.

## Azure Credential

This plugin uses `client_id`, `client_secret` and `tenant_id`
for authentication (access token), and `subscription_id`
is for accessing Azure resources.

## Property Locations

`subscription_id` can be found under **Overview**->**Essentials** in
the Azure portal for your application/service.

`client_id` and `client_secret` can be obtained by registering an
application under Azure Active Directory.

`tenant_id` can be found under **Azure Active Directory**->**Properties**.

resource target `resource_id` can be found under
**Overview**->**Essentials**->**JSON View** (link) in the Azure
portal for your application/service.

## More Information

To see a table of resource types and their metrics, please use this link:

`https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/
essentials/metrics-supported`

## Rate Limits

Azure API read limit is 12000 requests per hour.
Please make sure the total number of metrics you are requesting is proportional
to your time interval.

## Usage

Use `resource_targets` to collect metrics from specific resources using
resource id.

Use `resource_group_targets` to collect metrics from resources under the
resource group with resource type.

Use `subscription_targets` to collect metrics from resources under the
subscription with resource type.

## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.
