observIQ is in the process of transitioning a subset of BindPlane's monitoring capabilities to the observIQ OpenTelemetry Collector. As a result, this Source is no longer publicly available in BindPlane. If you need access to this Source, please reach out to our support via chat or via [email protected].
Please refer to the Microsoft Azure Sources topic for additional information on how to configure the LPU, and general Azure Data Collection setup details.
Load Balancer Types: Standard vs Basic
As a feature with Standard Load Balancers, Microsoft makes performance metrics available within the the API. The metrics listed below are only available at the Standard license level.
The Source will configure and collect property metrics with the Basic Load Balancer type.
Least Privileged User
Steps:
Using the Azure CLI Client, find the Subscription ID and Tenant ID from your account list
Create a custom RBAC role using the JSON provided. Include your Subscription ID and rename the file to azure.json
Create an Active Directory Service Principal and assign the custom RBAC role t it.
The Secret (also known as Key) corresponding to the Client ID.
Maximum HTTP Retry Time (seconds)
The maximum amount of time in seconds to retry each API request when the API is throttling.
HTTP Request Timeout (seconds)
The maximum amount of time in seconds before a single HTTP request will fail.
Monitor Metric Collection Level
Selects which monitor metrics should be collected.
Filter By Resource Group Type
Selects whether to use a whitelist or blacklist when filtering by Resource Groups.
Filter By Resource Group Whitelist
A comma separated list of resource groups to explicitly allow. A '*' character is used to represent 'all', and a blank string is used for 'none'.
Filter By Resource Group Blacklist
A comma separated list of resource groups to filter out. A '*' character is used to represent 'all', and a blank string is used for 'none'.
Filter By Tags Group Type
Selects whether to use a whitelist or blacklist when filtering by Resource Groups.
Filter By Tags Group Whitelist
A comma separated list of tags to explicitly allow. Tags must follow the format <key:value>. Instead of a specific tag, or tag value, a '*' character is used to represent 'all'. A blank entry is treated as 'none'.
Filter By Tags Group Blacklist
