Azure Storage Classic Metrics

Question

Hello,

Is there a way to get the list of storage accounts that use classic metrics, through Resource Graph Explorer queries or Powershell or CLI script?

Thank you.

Thanks @Ravi Kanth Koppala .

I wrote a PS script to fetch the list of storage accounts that have classic metrics enabled.

Below is the script for fellow Azure enthusiasts who might be looking for the same.

NOTE:

1. This checks if the Hourly Metrics is enabled or not, which I understood from the documentation that Hourly Metrics are part of Classic metrics and is not present for SA that have Azure monitor metrics enabled.
2. This checks only for the Blob and File types of storage account, modify the script to include other types (Table, Queue, Web, DFS,...) as needed.

$az_tenant = Read-Host "Enter the Directory ID of Azure"
Connect-AzAccount -TenantId $az_tenant -WarningAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null

# Get a list of subscriptions
$subscriptions = Get-AzSubscription -TenantId $az_tenant

# Create an empty array to store the results
$results = @()

# Iterate through each subscription
foreach ($subscription in $subscriptions) {

    Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionName $subscription -WarningAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null

    # Get all the storage accounts in the subscription
    $storageAccounts = Get-AzStorageAccount

    # Loop through each storage account and check if it has classic metrics enabled
    foreach ($account in $storageAccounts) {
        if ($account.PrimaryEndpoints.Blob) {
            $diagnosticSettings = $account | Get-AzStorageServiceMetricsProperty -ServiceType Blob -MetricsType Hour
        } else {
            # Get the diagnostic settings for the storage account
            $diagnosticSettings = $account | Get-AzStorageServiceMetricsProperty -ServiceType File -MetricsType Hour
        }
        # Check if the diagnostic settings contain any metrics data
        if ($diagnosticSettings.MetricsLevel) {
            # Create a custom object to store the information for each storage account
            $object = [PSCustomObject]@{
                SubscriptionName = $subscription.Name
                AccountName = $account.StorageAccountName
                Kind = $account.Kind
                ClassicMetrics = "Enabled"
                MetricsLevel = $diagnosticSettings.MetricsLevel
                MetricsRetentionDays = $diagnosticSettings.RetentionDays
            }
        } else {
            # Create a custom object to store the information for each storage account
            $object = [PSCustomObject]@{
                SubscriptionName = $subscription.Name
                AccountName = $account.StorageAccountName
                Kind = $account.Kind
                ClassicMetrics = "Disabled"
                MetricsLevel = $diagnosticSettings.MetricsLevel
                MetricsRetentionDays = $diagnosticSettings.RetentionDays
            }
        }
        # Add the object to the results array
        $results += $object
    }
}

# Convert the results array to a table and display it
$results | Format-Table -AutoSize

There is no direct way to get the list of storage accounts that use classic metrics through Resource Graph Explorer queries or PowerShell or CLI script. However, you can use the Azure portal to view which storage accounts have classic metrics enabled. To do this, go to the Azure portal, select "Storage accounts" from the left-hand menu, and then select the "Classic metrics" tab. This will show you a list of all storage accounts that have classic metrics enabled.
