## Azure Monitor Custom Metrics Output for Telegraf
|
|
|
|
This plugin will send custom metrics to Azure Monitor.
|
|
|
|
All metrics are written as summarized values: min, max, sum, count. The Telegraf field name is appended to the metric name. All Telegraf tags are set as the metric dimensions.
|
|
|
|
## Azure Authentication
|
|
|
|
This plugin can use one of several different types of credentials to authenticate
|
|
with the Azure Monitor Custom Metrics ingestion API endpoint. In the following
|
|
order the plugin will attempt to authenticate.
|
|
1. Managed Service Identity (MSI) token
|
|
- This is the prefered authentication method.
|
|
- Note: MSI is only available to ARM-based resources.
|
|
2. AAD Application Tokens (Service Principals)
|
|
- Primarily useful if Telegraf is writing metrics for other resources. [More information](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-application-objects).
|
|
- A Service Principal or User Principal needs to be assigned the `Monitoring Contributor` roles.
|
|
3. AAD User Tokens (User Principals)
|
|
- Allows Telegraf to authenticate like a user. It is best to use this method for development.
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
|
|
For this output plugin to function correctly the following variables
|
|

|
|
* region
|
|
|
|
### region

```
|
|
# Configuration for sending aggregate metrics to Azure Monitor
|
|
[[outputs.azuremonitor]]
|
|
## The resource ID against which metric will be logged. If not
|
|
## specified, the plugin will attempt to retrieve the resource ID
|
|
## of the VM via the instance metadata service (optional if running
|
|
## on an Azure VM with MSI)
|
|
#resource_id = "/subscriptions/<subscription_id>/resourceGroups/<resource_group>/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/<vm_name>"
|
|
## Azure region to publish metrics against. Defaults to eastus.
|
|
## Leave blank to automatically query the region via MSI.
|
|
#region = "useast"
