How to get metrics for individual queue in Azure Storage Queue?

Question

Hi,

How do i get metrics of a specific/individual queue in the Storage account Queues?
Is that possible?
The documentation I saw mentioned only are for the entire Queue Storage but could be wrong.
Example from the Storage account portal i can view the Queue Capacity, Count and Message Count in Metrics menu.

Thanks for your answer.

@Gregorio Montaño Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A. I understand that you want to be able to get metrics for individual storage queues vs an average/total for all the queues in the storage account.

At this point, this is not possible from the metrics menu. Please feel free to request this as a feature in our feedback channel and our PG team will evaluate this. Here is the Feedback channel- https://feedback.azure.com/d365community/

However, you can monitor requests made to an individual queue by enabling diagnostic settings. For that, please follow below steps-

You would first start with creating a Diagnostic Setting- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/monitor-blob-storage?tabs=azure-portal#creating-a-diagnostic-setting

And then view logged activity by using a Log Analytics query or you can go the destination that you are forwarding the logs to as setup in the diagnostics settings.

Here is a reference of Azure Queue Storage monitoring data called as resource logs that are collected using these steps- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/queues/monitor-queue-storage-reference#fields-that-describe-the-operation

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions and we will be glad to assist you further. Thank you!
