Azure container_instance metricset

Azure container_instance metricset

edit

This is the container_instance metricset of the module azure.

This metricset allows users to retrieve all metrics from specified container groups.

Metricset-specific configuration notes

edit

refresh_list_interval: Resources will be retrieved at each fetch call (period interval), this means a number of Azure REST calls will be executed each time. This will be helpful if the azure users will be adding/removing resources that could match the configuration options so they will not added/removed to the list. To reduce on the number of API calls we are executing to retrieve the resources each time, users can configure this setting and make sure the list or resources will not be refreshed as often. This is also beneficial for performance and rate/ cost reasons (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-manager-request-limits).
resources: This will contain all options for identifying resources and configuring the desired metrics

Config options to identify resources

edit

resource_id: ([]string) The fully qualified ID’s of the resource, including the resource name and resource type. Has the format /subscriptions/{guid}/resourceGroups/{resource-group-name}/providers/{resource-provider-namespace}/{resource-type}/{resource-name}. Should return a list of resources.
resource_group: ([]string) This option will return all container groups inside the resource group.

If none of the options are entered then all the container groups inside the subscription are taken in account. For each metric the primary aggregation assigned will be retrieved. A default non configurable timegrain of 5 min is set so users are advised to configure an interval of 300s or a multiply of it.

This is a default metricset. If the host module is unconfigured, this metricset is enabled by default.
