# Azure Monitor Input Plugin

This plugin gathers metrics of Azure resources using the
[Azure Monitor][azure_monitor] API. The plugin requires a `client_id`,
`client_secret` and `tenant_id` for authentication via access token. The
`subscription_id` is required for accessing Azure resources.

Check the [supported metrics page][supported_metrics] for available resource
types and their metrics.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The Azure API has a read limit of 12,000 requests per hour. Please make sure
> you don't exceed this limit with the total number of metrics you are in the
> configured interval.

[supported_metrics]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/metrics-supported

## Property Locations

The `subscription_id` can be found under `Overview > Essentials` in the Azure
portal for your application or service.

The `client_id` and `client_secret` can be obtained by registering an
application under Azure Active Directory.

The `tenant_id` can be found under `Azure Active Directory > Properties`.

The resource target `resource_id` can be found under
`Overview > Essentials > JSON View` in the Azure portal for your
application or service.

The `cloud_option` defines the optional value for the API endpoints in case you
are using the solution to get the metrics from the Azure Sovereign Cloud
shipment e.g. AzureChina, AzureGovernment or AzurePublic.
The default value is AzurePublic

## Usage

Use `resource_targets` to collect metrics from specific resources using
resource id.

Use `resource_group_targets` to collect metrics from resources under the
resource group with resource type.

Use `subscription_targets` to collect metrics from resources under the
subscription with resource type.

## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.
