Get metrics on Azure Storage Account Blob being used, not the entire data store.

Question

Is it possible via the Azure Portal to get metrics on specific BLOB containers' transactions and the files they affected? I can only get metrics for the entire storage account and multiple apps/services use the same account, I need to find out which container is being used so I can narrow down which app consumes the most resources on the storage account.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!!

@Eduard Kruger With Log Analytics, the measurement can be achieved by aggregating storage logs on container/folder. You can refer to the below for detailed guidelines.

You need to calculate based on request or response sizes. Here’s an example for Ingress/Egress:

StorageBlobLogs
| extend Ingress = iff(isnull(RequestHeaderSize),0,RequestHeaderSize) + iff(isnull(RequestBodySize),0,RequestBodySize)
| extend Egress = iff(isnull(ResponseHeaderSize),0,ResponseHeaderSize) + iff(isnull(ResponseBodySize),0,ResponseBodySize)
| project OperationName, Ingress, Egress, RequestHeaderSize, RequestBodySize, ResponseHeaderSize, ResponseBodySize

Azure Monitor
• Metrics: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-metrics-in-azure-monitor

If the above suggestion doesn't help you:

The workaround is to aggregate the statistics from analytics logs to capture changes plus create a capacity baseline by enumerating objects in each container.

Will you please elaborate on what usage of containers you need? What’s the model of container layout versus the final users? How many containers and blobs in each container can be projected?

Hope this helps!

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
