To integrate Azure with MetricFire, please sign up for a free 14 day trial. We want to fully understand your requirements and monitoring goals, so we can advise you on how to obtain better visibility into your infrastructure. Please book a demo with us so we can show you how quick and easy it is to get meaningful data into your MetricFire account, and use that data to build custom dashboards and alerts.
Microsoft Azure is one of the fastest-growing and second-largest cloud computing platforms in the market. Azure is a cloud computing platform provided by Microsoft. It works as an online portal where you can access and manage resources and services for storing and transforming data using services that Microsoft provides. 80% of Fortune 500 companies use Azure for their services. Azure also supports multiple programming languages such as C#, Node.js, Java, and more. Another important selling point of Azure is the number of data centres it has across the world being hosted in 54 regions.
Azure services are divided into 18 categories and contain more than 200 servicers. These include Compute, Networking, Storage, IoT, Migration, Analytics, Security, DevOps and so much more.
Azure can be used for application development, testing, application hosting, creating virtual machines of any size or RAM needed, integrating and syncing features, collecting and storing metrics and virtual hard drives for data storage.
To integrate Microsoft Azure and MetricFire with your monitoring system, sign up for a free trial with MetricFire. Talk with the MetricFire team about how to integrate Amazon CloudWatch and MetricFire, and get Amazon CloudWatch interacting with your MetricFire dashboards in minutes.
To enable the Azure add-on, go to the add-ons page in your Hosted Graphite account and choose the option for Azure.
You will be presented with the Azure page; here you will be able to add, edit, and delete any Azure configurations. This page also provides options to add account names and tags.
Before saving make sure to include the resource to monitor by selecting the enable checkbox. Tagging is also a feature that can be enabled. If 'Tags' checkbox is enabled then tagging will only be applied to that specific resource. If you don't want tagging to be enabled for a resource then leave it unselected.
We integrate with many popular Azure services like Analysis Service, Data Factory, IoT Hub, MariaDB, SQL, Redis Cache, Service Bus, VM's and many more!
See the Hosted Graphite Azure docs for full configuration details.
MetricFire is a full-scale platform that provides infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source tools. We will aggregate and store your data as time series metrics, which can be used to build custom dashboards and alerts. MetricFire takes away the burden of self-hosting your own monitoring solution, allowing you more time and freedom to work on your most important tasks.
MetricFire offers a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, comprised of open-source Graphite and Grafana. MetricFire handles the aggregation, storage, and backups of your data, and offers alerting, team features, and API's for easy management of your monitoring environment. You can send server metrics using one of our agents, custom metrics from within your application code, and integration metrics from a variety of popular 3rd party services that we integrate with like Heroku, AWS, Azure, GCP, and many more!
Our Hosted Graphite product has improved upon standard Graphite to add data dimensionality, optimized storage, and offers additional tools and features that provide customers with a robust and well-rounded monitoring solution.
“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”
“Building and managing an on-premise installation at this scale would require a lot of engineer time, especially in the first year...we use this engineering time to work on initiatives closer to our core business”
“There’s complete transparency with everything MetricFire do which means we can accurately predict what we’ll be spending and comfortably keep within our budget.”
"Every time I have a question, I get an answer from support after just a couple of hours. Their technical knowledge is excellent.”
