Azure Monitor Metrics in event hub but not appearing in Splunk

devsupport
Engager

We configured the Azure Monitor Metrics input and configured diagnostics to send metrics (and logs) to our event hub. We are only seeing 2 amm_resourceTypes when there should be more (ex. Load Balancer). Using Service Bus Explorer, we can see expected metrics data in the event hub.

After reading through the docs on GitHub, I do not see any additional configuration required to pull other Azure resource type metrics. Should the add-on automatically handle all/most resource types?

We're using add-on version 1.3.1.

The Metrics input in the Azure Monitor Ad-on uses a REST API to get the metrics data rather than event hubs (the Activity input and the Diagnostic input do use event hubs though). There are 2 parts to the metrics input:

  1. Configure the input in Splunk (tenant ID, app ID/key, subscription ID, vault information).
  2. Tag the resource(s) you want with a "metrics" tag. The value of the tag should be the metric(s) you want to collect. More information here -> https://github.com/Microsoft/AzureMonitorAddonForSplunk/wiki/Configuration-of-Azure#metrics

Here is a good reference on the metics available from Azure Monitor that can be ingested into Splunk -> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/metrics-supported
