Metric in azure monitor

Question

Metric in azure monitor

Shivam Ramola 71

Metric are numerical values that are collected at regular intervals and describe some aspect of a system at a particular time. By the help of it we can create various charts like CPU utilization of VMs or used capacity for storage.

so my question: is there any feature we can directly use query to fetch this data and
is these data stored in table or some other location

Hi Philip,

I went through that article, I wanted to ask from where data has been taken that is helping in making chart.

Data must be stored somewhere(like activity logs) with the help of which charts have been made.

so whether charts are using activity logs or some other stuff and where that is stored

Thanks,
Shivam

Hi @Shivam Ramola ,

As per this official Azure document, it collects that numeric data from monitored resources into a time series database. AFAIK, as per design we would not be able to directly access the data that's in the time series database so I believe this Azure Monitor Metrics is the base level from where we might be able to fetch the data.
