Azure CDN Profiles Monitoring Integration

A content delivery network (CDN) is a distributed network of servers that delivers web information to users quickly and effectively. To reduce latency, these CDNs store cache content on edge servers in point-of-presence locations close to end users. An Azure CDN profile is a collection of CDN endpoints.

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

Setup and configuration

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

Supported metrics

The following metrics are collected:

Metric name	Description	Statistic	Unit
Byte Hit Ratio	This is the ratio of the total bytes served from the cache compared to the total response bytes	Average	Percent
Request Count	The number of client requests served by the HTTP/S proxy	Total	Count
Response Size	The number of bytes sent as responses from the HTTP/S proxy to clients	Total	Bytes
Total Latency	The time calculated from when the client request was received by the HTTP/S proxy until the client acknowledged the last response byte from the HTTP/S proxy	Average	Milliseconds

Threshold configuration

Global configuration

Go to the Admin section in the left navigation pane.
Select Configuration Profiles from the left pane and choose the Threshold and Availability (+) tab from the drop-down menu. Click Add Threshold Profile from the top-right corner.
Set the monitor type as Azure CDN Profiles. Now you can set the threshold values for all the metrics mentioned above.

Monitor-level configuration

Go to Cloud > Azure and select Azure CDN Profiles from the drop-down menu.
Choose a resource for which you would like to set a threshold, then click the hamburger icon . Select Edit, which will direct you to the Edit Azure CDN Profiles 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 to auto-resolve performance degradation issues. These tools react to events proactively rather than waiting for manual intervention.
