List of exportable azure metrics for load balancer

Question

Hi,

I was trying to export Azure Load balancer metrics using an exporter and read the Azure doc to see the available/supported metrics. Ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/metrics-supported#microsoftnetworkloadbalancers

I have a couple of questions, if some could help me.

1) The above documentation is showing the supported metrics with a column "Exportable via Diagnostic Settings". Hope this exporter can expose metrics which are marked as "yes" in "Exportable via Diagnostic Settings" column.

2) I believe the exporter can expose only the metrics which have been listed in the above documentation. If not, please share the doc reference (if there is any) which can guide me to configure more exportable metrics for load balancers.

Thank You,

@Mohan, Anoop Welcome to Microsoft Q & A Community Platform. In order to export azure metrics , you need to enable diagnostic settings for the load balancer. You can follow this document to enable it. You can send this to Log Analytics , archive to a Storage Account or stream to event hub.

For instance, if you send this data to Log Analytics , you can query the logs in Log analytics.

For load balancers, below is a sample query to check the metrics. Based on your requirement, you can modify the query and retrieve necessary details.

AzureMetrics  
| where ResourceProvider == "MICROSOFT.NETWORK"and _ResourceId contains "loadbalancers"  
| summarize count() by MetricName  

1) To export the data from log analytics, you can follow either of the below documents.

• workspace data export
• Export with logic apps
• Query with Azure Data Explorer
• Send To Excel
• Send To PowerBI

2) The document you are referring to is the latest one and the metrics which are suggested are only the ones that can be exported.
