REST API for Azure Stack HCI with Monitoring insight

Question

Hello,

Is there a REST API available to monitor the health of Azure Stack HCI clusters? Additionally, is there an API to monitor the usage performance, such as memory and CPU, of the server? The images provided show the details I am interested in. Thank you.

Hi @Aishwarya Upadhye

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

There is no such API REST that you can use to monitor health of Azure Stack HCI resources. However, you can leverage the Azure Monitor Metrics and create alerts using Azure CLI

Here's an example of the command usage:

To create a metric alert rule that monitors if the average CPU usage of a VM is greater than 90, run the following command:

az monitor metrics alert create -n {nameofthealert} -g {ResourceGroup} --scopes {VirtualMachineResourceID} --condition "avg Percentage CPU > 90" --description {descriptionofthealert}

• Monitor a single Azure Stack HCI cluster with Insights
• Monitor multiple Azure Stack HCI clusters with Insights
