Measures reported by AzrResGrpTest

A resource is a manageable item that is available through Azure. A few common resources are a virtual machine, storage account, web app, database, virtual network etc. A resource group is a container that holds related resources for an Azure solution. The resource group can include all the resources for the solution, or only those resources that the administrator wants to manage as a group. The resources in the resource group share the same lifecycle i.e., they are deployed, updated and deleted together. The Azure ARM can maintain multiple resource groups and though a resource can be migrated from one resource group to another the resource cannot exist in more than one group at a time. Often, failure of a resource group leads to the inaccessibility of the resources in that group. To avoid this, it is necessary to monitor the state of the resource groups round the clock! The AzrResGrpTest helps in this regard!

This test auto-discovers the resource groups in a Microsoft Azure Resource Manager and reveals the current state of each resource group. This test also reveals the number of resources in each of the resource group. Using this test, administrators can figure out the exact resources residing in the resource groups and the location of those resources.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Subscription ID:Resource group of the target Microsoft Azure being monitored

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Status Indicates the current state of this resource group.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Succeeded 1
Unknown 0


Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current state of this resource group. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of a server using the numeric equivalents only.
NumResource Indicates the number of resources in this resource group. Number The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name of each resource in the resource group, the type of the resource and the location of the resource.
