Azure Monitor metrics exporter for Prometheus with dimension support, template engine and ServiceDiscovery

Azure Monitor metrics exporter

license DockerHub Quay.io Artifact Hub

Prometheus exporter for Azure Monitor metrics. Supports metrics fetching from all resource with one scrape (automatic service discovery), custom metric names with template system, full dimensions support and caching.

Configuration (except Azure connection) of this exporter is made entirely in Prometheus instead of a seperate configuration file, see examples below.

TOC:

Features

  • Uses of official Azure SDK for go
  • Supports all Azure environments (Azure public cloud, Azure governmant cloud, Azure china cloud, ...) via Azure SDK configuration
  • Caching of Azure ServiceDiscovery to reduce Azure API calls
  • Caching of fetched metrics (no need to request every minute from Azure Monitor API; you can keep scrape time of 30s for metrics)
  • Customizable metric names (with template system with metric information)
  • Ability to fetch metrics from one or more resources via target parameter (see /probe/metrics/resource)
  • Ability to fetch metrics from resources found with ServiceDiscovery via Azure resources API based on $filter (see /probe/metrics/list)
  • Ability to fetch metrics from resources found with ServiceDiscovery via Azure resources API based on $filter with configuration inside Azure resource tags (see /probe/metrics/scrape)
  • Ability to fetch metrics from resources found with ServiceDiscovery via Azure ResourceGraph API based on Kusto query (see /probe/metrics/resourcegraph)
  • Configuration based on Prometheus scraping config or ServiceMonitor manifest (Prometheus operator)
  • Metric manipulation (adding, removing, updating or filtering of labels or metrics) can be done in scraping config (eg metric_relabel_configs)
  • Full metric dimension support
  • Docker image is based on Google's distroless static image to reduce attack surface (no shell, no other binaries inside image)
  • Available via Docker Hub and Quay (see badges on top)
  • Can run non-root and with readonly root filesystem, doesn't need any capabilities (you can safely use drop: ["All"])
  • Publishes Azure API rate limit metrics (when exporter sends Azure API requests, available via /metrics)

useful with additional exporters:

  • azure-resourcegraph-exporter for exporting Azure resource information from Azure ResourceGraph API with custom Kusto queries (get the tags from resources and ResourceGroups with this exporter)
  • azure-resourcemanager-exporter for exporting Azure subscription information (eg ratelimit, subscription quotas, ServicePrincipal expiry, RoleAssignments, resource health, ...)
  • azure-keyvault-exporter for exporting Azure KeyVault information (eg expiry date for secrets, certificates and keys)
  • azure-loganalytics-exporter for exporting Azure LogAnalytics workspace information with custom Kusto queries (eg ingestion rate or application error count)

Configuration

Normally no configuration is needed but can be customized using environment variables.

How to test

Enable the webui (--development.webui) to get a basic web frontend to query the exporter which helps you to find the right settings for your configuration.

webui is available under url /query

Metrics

Metric Description
azurerm_stats_metric_collecttime General exporter stats
azurerm_stats_metric_requests Counter of resource metric requests with result (error, success)
azurerm_resource_metric (customizable) Resource metrics exported by probes (can be changed using name parameter and template system)
azurerm_api_ratelimit Azure ratelimit metrics (only on /metrics, resets after query)
azurerm_api_request_* Azure request count and latency as histogram

Metric name and help template system

(with 21.5.3 and later)

By default Azure monitor metrics are generated with the name specified in the request (see parameter name). This can be modified via environment variable $METRIC_TEMPLATE or as request parameter template.

HINT: Used templates are removed from labels!

Metric name recommendation: {name}_{metric}_{aggregation}_{unit}

Help recommendation: Azure metrics for {metric} with aggregation {aggregation} as {unit}

Following templates are available:

Template Description
{name} Name of template specified by request parameter name
{type} The ResourceType or MetricNamespace specified in the request (not applicable to all APIs)
{metric} Name of Azure monitor metric
{dimension} Dimension value of Azure monitor metric (if dimension is used)
{unit} Unit name of Azure monitor metric (eg count, percent, ...)
{aggregation} Aggregation of Azure monitor metric (eg total, average)
{interval} Interval of requested Azure monitor metric
{timespan} Timespan of requested Azure monitor metric

Development and testing query webui

azure-metrics-exporter provides a query webui at http://url-to-exporter/query where you can test different query settings and endpoints. the query webui also generates an example prometheus scrape_config.
