App Service Dashboard - What is it measuring

David Thielen 3,216

Hi all;

Ok, in the Azure dashboard I:

Go to: Dashboards | Create
Select App Service tracking
It prompts me for: Dashboard name, Subscription, & Select resource

The only resource is the name of my one App Service. Here's my questions on selecting this:

Is this the production slot, the dev slot, or both?
If it's the production slot, I have 2 instances. Is it the combination of both instances?

It then creates the following dashboard (which I love as I would likely not get as useful a dashboard if I selected the metrics myself).

AppServiceDashboard

I have questions about some of the charts, identified by [row, column]

[0,0] What is the Y axis units? And why isn't it a percentage?
[0,1] What is the Y axis units? And why isn't it a percentage?
[0,3] What is this?
[1,0] What is the Y axis units? It says a count but a count of response time - what is that?
[2,1] Why does it have Http 404 twice? What's the difference between them?
[3,0], [3,1] What is the Y axis units? It says it's a count but how can a bandwidth be a count?

And am I correct in assuming that this dashboard is the suggested set of metrics to monitor an app server?

thanks - dave

Hi @David Thielen
Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

Q1 Answer: - When you select an App Service object, Azure creates a dashboard that tracks the combined metrics of all the slots associated with that App Service. This means that the dashboard will show data from both the production slot and the dev slot, if you have configured both.

Q2 Answer: - Yeah, that’s right. If you have multiple instances (2 in this case) in your production slot, the dashboard will collect metrics from all instances. This gives you a comprehensive view of your App Service’s performance, allowing you to monitor issues and troubleshoot more efficiently.

[0,0] chart, the Y-axis likely represents an absolute count of events, such as total requests or errors. It’s not a percentage but a direct measure of occurrences.

[0,1] chart, the Y-axis likely represents response times in milliseconds or seconds. It shows how long it takes for requests to be processed, rather than a percentage.

[0,3] chart, it could be displaying metrics like application errors or health status. Check the chart’s legend or tooltip for a clear explanation of what’s being shown.

[1,0] chart, the Y-axis likely shows the number of requests grouped by response time, indicating how often requests fall into certain response time ranges.

[2,1] chart shows HTTP 404 errors twice, possibly because it tracks different kinds of 404 errors or breaks them down by different time periods. Check the chart’s legend for details.

[3,0] and [3,1] charts, bandwidth is usually shown in bytes or bits per second, not as a count. If it’s labeled as a count, it might be a mislabeling or an unusual way of presenting the data. Check the chart details for clarity.
