Creating an Azure Monitor alert rule when Azure Storage Files share usage approaches quota

Question

How can I create an Azure Monitor alert rule for an Azure Storage Files share when it's usage approaches the quota for that share?

Answer 1

@DossyShiobara There is now Quota management API in preview https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/azure-quota-rest-api-to-manage-service-limits-quota-are-now-available-in-preview/

There’s a storage logging feature that’s currently in preview that can be used to monitor read, write and delete operations.

To learn more, see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/monitor-storage?tabs=azure-powershell#logs-in-azure-monitor-preview

It would be good to evaluate this feature and let us know if it meets your needs.

If you’re interested in joining the preview, please complete the following form:

Additional information: I would suggest you start with understanding Storage limits, Azure Monitor Metrics for Storage, and Azure alerts for background. If you just want to find these numbers, you can use Azure Monitor Metrics Powershell to query.

You can use metric UsedCapacity. To setup alert rule for #1, you need to calculate absolute number by MAX * 80%. Please be aware that different type of storage has different capacity limit. I think #2 ask is the same as #1. You may elaborate otherwise. You can also use Azure alert Powershell to automate.

Note: If you are looking for specific feature, I would recommended to leave your feedback/UserVoice here. All the feedback you share in these forums will be monitored and reviewed by the Microsoft engineering teams responsible for building Azure.

Hope this helps!
