Azure DDoS Protection monitoring data reference

This article contains all the monitoring reference information for this service.

See Monitor Azure DDoS Protection for details on the data you can collect for Azure DDoS Protection and how to use it.

Metrics

This section lists all the automatically collected platform metrics for this service. These metrics are also part of the global list of all platform metrics supported in Azure Monitor.

For information on metric retention, see Azure Monitor Metrics overview.

Supported metrics for Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses

The following table lists the metrics available for the Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses resource type.

  • All columns might not be present in every table.
  • Some columns might be beyond the viewing area of the page. Select Expand table to view all available columns.

Table headings

  • Category - The metrics group or classification.
  • Metric - The metric display name as it appears in the Azure portal.
  • Name in REST API - The metric name as referred to in the REST API.
  • Unit - Unit of measure.
  • Aggregation - The default aggregation type. Valid values: Average (Avg), Minimum (Min), Maximum (Max), Total (Sum), Count.
  • Dimensions - Dimensions available for the metric.
  • Time Grains - Intervals at which the metric is sampled. For example, PT1M indicates that the metric is sampled every minute, PT30M every 30 minutes, PT1H every hour, and so on.
  • DS Export- Whether the metric is exportable to Azure Monitor Logs via diagnostic settings. For information on exporting metrics, see Create diagnostic settings in Azure Monitor.

The metric names present different packet types, and bytes vs. packets, with a basic construct of tag names on each metric as follows:

  • Dropped tag name (for example, Inbound Packets Dropped DDoS): The number of packets dropped/scrubbed by the DDoS protection system.

  • Forwarded tag name (for example Inbound Packets Forwarded DDoS): The number of packets forwarded by the DDoS system to the destination VIP – traffic that wasn't filtered.

  • No tag name (for example Inbound Packets DDoS): The total number of packets that came into the scrubbing system – representing the sum of the packets dropped and forwarded.

Note

While multiple options for Aggregation are displayed on Azure portal, only the aggregation types listed in the table are supported for each metric. We apologize for this confusion and we are working to resolve it.

Metric dimensions

For information about what metric dimensions are, see Multi-dimensional metrics.

This service has the following dimensions associated with its metrics.
