Azure Analysis Service Monitoring Integration

Azure Analysis Services combines and analyzes data from multiple sources, sets metrics, and safeguards the data gathered, allowing you to sift through enormous amounts of data more quickly.

With Site24x7's integration, you can now monitor your Azure Analysis Services, configure thresholds, and receive alerts about critical issues.

Setup and configuration

You can add Azure Analysis Services while adding a new monitor or you can add it to an existing Azure monitor. Follow these steps to add the service.

Threshold configuration

Global configuration

In the Site24x7 web client, go to the Admin section on the left navigation pane.
Select Configuration Profiles from the left pane and select the Threshold and Availability (+) tab from the drop-down menu.
Click Add Threshold Profile in the top-right corner.
For Monitor Type, select Azure Analysis Service.

You can now set the threshold values for all the metrics listed above.

Monitor-level configuration

In the Site24x7 web client, go to Cloud > Azure and select Azure Analysis Service from the drop-down menu.
Choose a resource you would like to set a threshold for, then click the hamburger icon .
Select Edit, which directs you to the Edit Azure Analysis Service Monitor page.
You can set the threshold values for the metrics by selecting Threshold and Availability.

You can also configure IT Automation at the attribute level.

IT Automation

Site24x7 offers a set of exclusive IT Automation tools that automatically resolve performance degradation issues. These tools react to events proactively rather than waiting for manual intervention.
