Measures reported by AzureSubcripTest
A Microsoft Azure subscription grants you access to Microsoft Azure services and to the Microsoft Azure Platform Management Portal.
A Microsoft Azure subscription has two aspects:
The Microsoft Azure account, through which resource usage is reported and services are billed. The subscription itself, which governs access to and use of the Microsoft Azure services that are subscribed to. The subscription holder manages services (Microsoft Azure, Azure SQL database, Azure Storage etc) through the Microsoft Azure Platform Management Portal.
In target environments where critical applications are to be hosted on Microsoft Azure, it becomes a necessity to create a Microsoft Azure subscription. Once the subscription is created, monitoring the utilization of the allocated resources within the subscription may pose a challenge to the administrators. In order to help administrators to keep track of the resources allocated to the subscription and the resources utilized, the eG Enterprise suite provides you with the Azure Subscriptions test.
This test helps administrators to figure out the maximum amount of resources i.e., cores, virtual machines, storage accounts, cloud services etc allocated to the Azure Subscription and also helps to detect irregularities in the allocation of the resources, if any.
Output of the test : One set of results for the target Microsoft Azure being monitored
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| MaxCoreCount |
Indicates the maximum number of cores that can be allocated to the subscription. |
Number |
|
| CurCoreCount |
Indicates the number of cores that are currently utilized in the subscription. |
Number |
If the value of this measure is equal to the Max cores measure, then it indicates that no more cores in the subscription can be utilized. Administrators are therefore alerted to monitor the high utilization of the cores. |
| CoreUtil |
Indicates the percentage of cores utilized in the subscription. |
Percent |
A value close to 100 indicates that the subscription ID is running out of cores. |
| MaxStoAcc |
Indicates the maximum number of storage accounts that can be allocated to the subscription. |
Number |
|
| CurStoAcc |
Indicates the number of storage accounts that are currently utilized in the subscription. |
Number |
If the value of this measure is equal to the MaxStoAcc measure, then it indicates that no more storage accounts can be utilized in the subscription.
The detailed diagnosis of this measure if enabled, lists the storage accounts associated with the subscription. |
| StoAccUtil |
Indicates the percentage of storage accounts utilized in the subscription. |
Percent |
A value close to 100 indicates that the subscription is running out of storage accounts. |
| MaxCloudSer |
Indicates the maximum number of cloud services that can be allocated to the subscription ID. |
Number |
|
| CurCloudSer |
Indicates the number of cloud services that are currently utilized in the subscription. |
Number |
If the value of this measure is equal to MaxCloudSer, then it indicates that all the allocated cloud services are already utilized.
The detailed diagnosis of this measure if enabled, lists the cloud services that were created for the subscription. |
| CldSerUtil |
Indicates the percentage of cloud services utilized in the subscription. |
percent |
A value close to 100 indicates that the subscription is running short of cloud services. |
| MaxVirNetSite |
Indicates the maximum number of virtual network sites that can be allocated to the subscription. |
Number |
|
| CurVirNetSite |
Indicates the number of virtual network sites that are currently allocated to the subscription. |
Number |
If the value of this measure is equal to the MaxVirNetSite, then it indicates that no more virtual network sites can be utilized in the subscription. |
| VirNetUtil |
Indicates the percentage of virtual network sites utilized in the subscription. |
Percent |
A value close to 100 indicates that the subscription is running out of virtual network sites. |
| MaxLocNetSite |
Indicates the maximum number of local network sites that can be allocated to the subscription. |
Number |
|
| MaxDnsSer |
Indicates the maximum number of DNS servers that can be allocated to the subscription. |
Number |
