Host Template: Cloud - Azure - API Management Services
This host template is one of 31 developed by Opsview to provide the most comprehensive Azure monitoring in the industry.
Azure API Management helps organizations publish APIs to unlock the potential of their data and services. API Management provides the essentials to ensure a successful API program through developer engagement, business insights, analytics, security, and protection. You can use Azure API Management to take any backend and create a complete API program based on it.
This Host Template allows you to monitor all the metrics you need to efficiently run Azure API Management Services on Microsoft Azure. After installation, you'll be able to check the total number of requests, the overall duration of gateway requests as well as the utilisation percentage.
This Host Template includes the following Service Checks:
Service Check Name | Description | Default Thresholds (Warning, Critical) | UOM |
---|---|---|---|
Azure - API Management Service - Capacity | Utilization metric for ApiManagement service, in percent [Default Timespan = 5mins, Default Check Interval = 5mins] | capacity=70,90 | % |
Azure - API Management Service - Duration | Overall Duration of Gateway Requests in milliseconds [Default Timespan = 5mins, Default Check Interval = 5mins] | N/A | ms |
Azure - API Management Service - Requests | Total number of requests by status [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.
