How to add metrics to scraper agent dynamically? #2037
-
|
Is there a way to generate all metrics for resources dynamically? I want to have all metrics for defined resource discovery groups and would love to implement dynamic metric scraping configuration. Azure has metrics definition list here but there is no way to get these definitions without providing a specific resourceUri. Maybe I'm missing something. If that is not possible maybe there is some kind of default metrics I could scrape without having to specify them by hand? |

No you cannot. You have to define the metrics that you want to get for a given resource or discovery group. This is by design given ARM has low throttling limitations and we don't want end-users to be too greedy. The idea is indeed to use https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/metrics-supported to determine what metrics you really need, add it to the metric declaration and scrape them. |

Otherwise you'll very quickly hit the throttling limitation. |
