Azure Virtual Machines Metrics
Collect metrics from Azure Virtual Machines with Elastic Agent.
Version | 1.6.7 (View all) |
Compatible Kibana version(s) | 8.12.0 or higher |
Supported Serverless project types | Security Observability |
Subscription level | Basic |
The Azure Compute VM data stream collects and aggregates virtual machine related metrics from Azure Compute VM type resources where it can be used for analysis, visualization, and alerting. The Azure Compute VM will periodically retrieve the Azure Monitor metrics using the Azure REST APIs as MetricList. Additional Azure API calls will be executed to retrieve information regarding the resources targeted by the user.
Requirements
Before you start, check the Authentication and costs section.
Setup
Follow these step-by-step instructions on how to set up an Azure metrics integration.
Data stream specific configuration notes
Period
:: (string) Reporting interval. Metrics will have a timegrain of 5 minutes, so the Period
configuration option for compute_vm
should have a value of 300s
or multiple of 300s
for relevant results.
Resource IDs
:: ([]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 Groups
:: ([]string) This option will return all virtual machines inside the resource group.
If no resource filter is specified, then all virtual machines inside the entire subscription will be considered.
The primary aggregation value will be retrieved for all the metrics contained in the namespaces. The aggregation options are avg
, sum
, min
, max
, total
, count
.
Guest metrics
To collect monitoring data from the guest operating system of your virtual machine, you can configure a diagnostic agent, which is an Azure Diagnostics extension. The monitoring data is collected into an Azure storage account and can be viewed from the Azure Monitor.
IMPORTANT: Before you continue, make sure you have a storage account to store the metrics you collect. The storage account must be in the same region as your virtual machine.
To enable the diagnostic agent:
- Sign in to the Azure Portal and select your virtual machine.
- From Monitoring > Diagnostic settings configure the diagnostic agent and select the storage account you want to use to collect your data.
- From the Sinks tab, check Enable Azure Monitor to view your data from Azure Monitor dashboards.
For more information on sending guest OS metrics to Azure Monitor, check the Microsoft documentation.

data_stream.namespace | Data stream namespace. | constant_keyword | |
data_stream.type | Data stream type. | constant_keyword | |
dataset.name | Dataset name. | constant_keyword | |
dataset.namespace | Dataset namespace. | constant_keyword | |
dataset.type | Dataset type. | constant_keyword | |
ecs.version | ECS version this event conforms to. ecs.version is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices -- which may conform to slightly different ECS versions -- this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events. | keyword | |
host | A host is defined as a general computing instance. ECS host.* fields should be populated with details about the host on which the event happened, or from which the measurement was taken. Host types include hardware, virtual machines, Docker containers, and Kubernetes nodes. | group | |
host.architecture | Operating system architecture. | keyword | |
host.containerized | If the host is a container. | boolean | |
host.domain | Name of the domain of which the host is a member. For example, on Windows this could be the host's Active Directory domain or NetBIOS domain name. For Linux this could be the domain of the host's LDAP provider. | keyword | |
host.hostname | Hostname of the host. It normally contains what the hostname command returns on the host machine. | keyword | |
host.id | Unique host id. As hostname is not always unique, use values that are meaningful in your environment. Example: The current usage of beat.name . | keyword | |
host.ip | Host ip addresses. | ip | |
host.mac | Host mac addresses. | keyword | |
host.name | Name of the host. It can contain what hostname returns on Unix systems, the fully qualified domain name, or a name specified by the user. The sender decides which value to use. | keyword | |
