Host Template: Cloud - Azure - Analysis Services Servers
This host template is one of 31 developed by Opsview to provide the most comprehensive Azure monitoring in the industry.
Azure Analysis Services is a fully managed platform as a service (PaaS) solution that provides enterprise-grade data models in the cloud. It provides advanced mashup and modelling features which allows data to be combined from multiple data sources, metrics to be defined, and data to be secured in a single, trusted tabular semantic data model.
This Host Template allows you to monitor all the metrics you need to efficiently run Azure Analysis Services on Microsoft Azure. After installation, you'll be able to check the average number of query processing units, average memory in bytes and the average number of connections as well as the current number of established user sessions.
This Host Template includes the following Service Checks:
Service Check Name | Description | Default Thresholds (Warning, Critical) | UOM |
---|---|---|---|
Azure - Analysis Services Server - Connections | Average number of connection requests by status [Default Timespan = 5mins, Default Check Interval = 5mins] | N/A | N/A |
Azure - Analysis Services Server - Memory | Average memory status, in bytes [Default Timespan = 5mins, Default Check Interval = 5mins] | N/A | B |
Azure - Analysis Services Server - QPU | The average number of query processing units [Default Timespan = 5mins, Default Check Interval = 5mins] | N/A | N/A |
Azure - Analysis Services Server - Sessions | Current number of user sessions established [Default Timespan = 5mins, Default Check Interval = 5mins] | N/A | N/A |
NOTE: The "Default Timespan" given for these Service Checks refers to the time period we use when retrieving metrics from Azure.
NOTE: See details about Nagios thresholds here.

--client-id | Arg2 | Client ID | The Client ID of your Azure Subscription |
--secret-key | Arg3 | Secret Key | The Secret Key of your Azure Subscription |
--tenant-id | Arg4 | Tenant ID | The Tenant ID of your Azure Subscription |
AZURE_RESOURCE_DETAILS
