Azure Web Site Sensor

With the Azure Web Site sensor, you can monitor the usage and performance of the web applications that are deployed to the cloud with Azure Web Apps. Azure Web Apps is a managed cloud service that allows the deployment of a web application and makes it available to customers on the Internet in a very short amount of time. of Azure Web Site sensor provides information on Application Domain metrics, such as CPU Time or Application Connections; Input/Output Bytes, and Operations Per Second; as well as HTTP Response time, Client or Server Errors, Redirects, and more. Thanks to this you'll be able to keep a close eye on the monitored resources and run diagnostics when necessary.

Options

This sensor requires credentials for Azure subscription (Application (Client) ID, Tenant ID, and Client Secret Value).

Alerts

  • Alert on HTTP Error responses (401, 403, 404, 406, 4xx) above set threshold

Performance Metrics

The sensor collects metrics about Application Domain usage and performance, eg:

  • Application Domain\Total Application Domains
  • Application Domain\Application Connections
  • Application Domain\Avg. Memory Working Set
  • Application Domain\Bytes Received
  • Application Domain\Bytes Sent

The sensor also collects metrics related to HTTP Response statistics, eg:

  • HTTP\HTTP Response Time - Average HTTP response time in seconds
  • HTTP\HTTP 401 Responses - Total HTTP 401 status code responses per instance. Specifically for use when authentication is required and has failed or has not yet been provided.
  • HTTP\HTTP 403 Responses - Total HTTP 403 status code responses per instance. It may be due to the user not having the necessary permissions for a resource or needing an account of some sort, or attempting a prohibited action
  • HTTP\HTTP 404 Responses - Total HTTP 404 status code responses per instance. The requested resource could not be found but may be available in the future. Subsequent requests by the client are permissible.
  • HTTP\HTTP 406 Responses - Total HTTP 406 status code responses per instance. The requested resource is capable of generating only content not acceptable according to the Accept headers sent in the request.
  • HTTP\HTTP 4xx Responses - Total HTTP 4xx status code responses per instance. This class of status code is intended for situations in which the error seems to have been caused by the client.

Reports (Data Collectors)

By default, the sensor adds a report containing HTTP\HTTP Response Time, Application Domain\Total Application Domains, HTTP\HTTP 401 Responses, HTTP\HTTP 403 Responses,HTTP\HTTP 404 Responses,HTTP\HTTP 406 Responses, and HTTP\HTTP 4xx Responses charts. These metrics will be collected and available as a report or through Performance Trend Viewer.
