Azure Integration - Azure Files

Mackerel supports obtaining and monitoring Azure Files metrics in Azure Integration. Billable targets are determined using the conversion 1 File = 1 Micro Host. Depending on the number of metrics retrieved, additional charges may be incurred for exceeding the maximum number of metrics per micro host.

Please refer to the following page for Azure Integration configuration methods and a list of supported Azure services.

Obtaining metrics

The metrics available with Azure Integration's Azure Files support vary by peformance tier. The metrics that can be obtained at each tier are as follows. For Metric explanations, please refer to the Azure documentation.

Standard

The maximum number of obtainable metrics can be calculated using the formula 1 + 3 * (number of operation types) + 2 * (number of authentication types) + 5 * (number of target Azure Files file shares) + 2 (if Secondary is enabled) + 1 * (number of response types)1.

Premium

The maximum number of obtainable metrics can be calculated using the formula 1 + 3 * (number of operation types) + 2 * (number of authentication types) + 6 * (number of target Azure Files file shares) + 2 (if Secondary is enabled) + 1 * (number of response types)[^1].
