How do I know what Storage Accounts need to be transitioned to metrics in Azure?

Question

I received an email stating I am using classic metrics in Azure Storage, and I need to transition to metrics in Azure Monitor.

The email enumerated a list of subscriptions with Storage Accounts using classic metrics, but there are about 400 Storage Accounts in them, and the vast majority are not using classic metrics.

Is there a Graph query, Azure PowerShell or any other way to automate retrieving the Storage Accounts that need to be transitioned?

Hi Israel,

This script will list storage attributes, however I see the 'VersionProfile' field is empty on my new test storage account, so this may not help you. Here's a windows powershell script you can play with:

Install the Az module if you haven't already:

Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobberr -Scope CurentUser

1. Copy the contents below into a "runme.ps1" file and run it, eg: ./runme!.ps1

Connect-AzAccount

Get all subscriptions

$subscriptions = Get-AzSubscription

Initialize an array to store Storage Accounts using classic metrics

$classicMetricsStorageAccounts = @()

Iterate over each subscription

foreach ($subscription in $subscriptions) {

Set the context to the subscription

Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId $subscription.Id

Get all storage accounts in the current subscription

$storageAccounts = Get-AzStorageAccount

Check each storage account for classic metrics

foreach ($storageAccount in $storageAccounts) {

Get the metrics settings for the storage account

$metricsSettings = Get-AzStorageAccountManagementPolicy -ResourceGroupName $storageAccount.ResourceGroupName -StorageAccountName $storageAccount.StorageAccountName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

if ($metricsSettings -eq $null) {

If $metricsSettings is null, this might indicate the storage account is using classic metrics

        $classicMetricsStorageAccounts += $storageAccount

    }

}
}

Output the list of Storage Accounts using classic metrics

$classicMetricsStorageAccounts | Format-Table StorageAccountName, ResourceGroupName, Location, SubscriptionId

I was able to find the SAs that need to be migrated with

Get-AzDiagnosticSetting -ResourceId $storageAccount.Id
