Question

Transition to metrics in Azure Monitor before classic metrics in Azure Storage are retired on 9 January 2024

Ankush Gurjar 170

You're receiving this email because you use classic metrics in Azure Storage.

Because Azure Monitor now provides rich, consolidated monitoring for Azure resources, classic metrics in Azure Storage will be retired on 9 January 2024 and you'll need to transition to using metrics in Monitor.

In addition to the classic metrics features you already use, metrics in Monitor provide improvements such as:

New metrics and dimensions for extended monitoring.
Deep analysis in Azure Monitor Logs.
Native integration with other monitoring solutions.

Recommended action

To continue monitoring your Storage resources, transition to metrics in Monitor by 9 January 2024.

It is automatic transformation from Azure side? is any impact after transition?

If it is not automatic transition then tell me the step how to convert using Azure portal.

Hi Ankush Ambadas Gurjar,

To start you need to list all your diagnostics (classic) and compare the current diagnostic setting metrics availables for each service (blob, file, queue, table) . After that enable the new monitoring metrics. because The classic metrics it will be completely retired as you see on the e-mail.

@Ankush Gurjar Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, thank you for posting your here!!

To continue monitoring your Storage resources, transition to metrics in Monitor by 9 January 2024.

Steps to complete the transition.

To transition to metrics in Azure Monitor, we recommend the following approach.

Learn about some of the key differences between classic metrics and metrics in Azure Monitor.

Compile a list of classic metrics that you currently use.

Identify which metrics in Azure Monitor provide the same data as the metrics you currently use.

Create charts or dashboards to view metric data.

Note

Metrics in Azure Monitor are enabled by default, so there is nothing you need to do to begin capturing metrics. You must, however, create charts or dashboards to view those metrics.

If you've created alert rules that are based on classic storage metrics, then create alert rules that are based on metrics in Azure Monitor.

After you're able to see all of your metrics in Azure Monitor, you can turn off classic logging.

Based on my understanding here, I should expect to see the Diagnostic settings (classic) status is On by default, right?. Then for all that my storage account that enabled by default do i need to take action regarding this or can just ignore it?.

You need to take action only if the logging is enabled as shown in the below screenshot.

If you have logging enabled the Storage read, write and delete operations are stored and tracked in $log container and you can view in under containers and ignore if the logging is disabled.

To remediate this, you can enable the new diagnostic settings under monitoring as shown in below screenshots.

Hope this helps!

Hi Ramya, I'm new to Azure so just to clarify. If my "Diagnostic Settings (classic)" in "Monitoring (classic)" look like this on Blob, Table and Queue tabs

No action is needed before the 9th january, right?

Another question:
If i go in to "Diagnostic Settings" under "Monitoring". They are all disabled like in your second screenshot. Is this how it should be if i dont have any "Logging" enabled in my "Diagnostic Settings (classic)"?

The last question:

After you're able to see all of your metrics in Azure Monitor, you can turn off classic logging.

Does this mean when i can see and make queries to view charts inside "Metrics" under "Monitoring"?

Thanks for the help!
