Azure Recovery Services Vaults Monitoring Integration
An Azure Recovery Services vault acts as a storage entity that holds data, such as copies of configuration information. Recovery Services vaults allow you to store backup data for Azure services such as IaaS VMs (Linux or Windows), Azure Backup Server, Azure Backup Agent, Data Protection Manager, and Azure SQL databases.
You can now monitor your Recovery Services vaults, get precise metrics, set thresholds, automate tasks, and stay on top of outages with Site24x7's integration.
Setup and Configuration
- Adding Azure Recovery Services vault monitor while configuring a new Azure monitor
If you haven't configured an Azure monitor yet, add one by following the steps below:
- Log in to your Site24x7 account.
- Go to Cloud > Azure > Add Azure Monitor. You can also follow these steps to add an Azure monitor.
- During Azure monitor configuration, on the Edit Azure Monitor page, select Azure Recovery Services vault from the Service/Resource Types drop-down.
- Adding Azure Recovery Services vault to an existing Azure monitor
If you already have an Azure monitor configured for the tenant, you can add Azure Recovery Services vault by following the steps below:
- Log in to your Site24x7 account.
- Go to Cloud > Azure, select your Azure monitor, then go to any of the dashboards on the left pane of your Azure monitor.
- Click the hamburger
icon and select Edit, which brings you to the Edit Azure Monitor page. - On the Edit Azure Monitor page, select the corresponding Subscriptions and Resource Groups from the drop-down, select Azure Recovery Services vault from the Service/Resource Types drop-down, and click Save.
- After successful configuration, go to Cloud > Azure > Azure Monitor > Azure Recovery Services vault. Now you can view the discovered Azure Recovery Services vault.
It will take 15-30 minutes to discover new Azure resources. For immediate discovery of the selected configuration, go to the Infrastructure Dashboard of the Azure monitor, hover over the hamburger icon, and select Discover Now.
