Azure DCR Create CLI Help

Anonymous

Hello,

I am trying to learn and understand how to create a DCR through the CLI:

Listed Bellow is what is needed. But I am not understanding what I am doing wrong. The rule-file switch is that mandatory? If so what is the actually format of this file?

az monitor data-collection rule create --name
                                       --resource-group
                                       --rule-file
                                       [--description]
                                       [--location]
                                       [--tags]

I assume that the rule-file is where we set the performance counters etc. How do i make this .json rule parameters is there a template I could use?

The --rule-file switch in the az monitor data-collection rule create command is not mandatory. It is an optional parameter that allows you to specify a JSON or YAML file containing the configuration for the data collection rule.

If you choose to use the --rule-file switch, you need to provide the path to a file that contains the rule configuration. The file should be in either JSON or YAML format and should include all the necessary properties and values required to create the data collection rule.

Thanks for the quick reply. So how do we set what performance counters to use and the where the data should be collected?

Here is how you do it when it's JSON

{ "name": "<rule-name>", "resourceGroup": "<resource-group-name>", "location": "<location>", "destination": { "name": "<destination-name>", "resourceGroup": "<destination-resource-group>", "tables": [ { "tableName": "<table-name>", "category": "<category>" } ] }, "granularity": "<granularity>", "enabled": <true-or-false> }

This converts in CLI Hope this helps :)

az monitor data-collection rule create --name <rule-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name> --location <location> --destination-name <destination-name> --destination-resource-group <destination-resource-group> --table-name <table-name> --category <category> --granularity <granularity> --enabled <enabled>
