Supported metrics for Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts

The following table lists the metrics available for the Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts resource type.

Table headings

Metric - The metric display name as it appears in the Azure portal.
Name in Rest API - Metric name as referred to in the REST API.
Unit - Unit of measure.
Aggregation - The default aggregation type. Valid values: Average, Minimum, Maximum, Total, Count.
Dimensions - Dimensions available for the metric.
Time Grains - Intervals at which the metric is sampled. For example, PT1M indicates that the metric is sampled every minute, PT30M every 30 minutes, PT1H every hour, and so on.
DS Export- Whether the metric is exportable to Azure Monitor Logs via Diagnostic Settings.

For information on exporting metrics, see Create diagnostic settings in Azure Monitor.

For information on metric retention, see Azure Monitor Metrics overview.

Category Metric Name in REST API Unit Aggregation Dimensions Time Grains DS Export
Transaction Availability

The percentage of availability for the storage service or the specified API operation. Availability is calculated by taking the TotalBillableRequests value and dividing it by the number of applicable requests, including those that produced unexpected errors. All unexpected errors result in reduced availability for the storage service or the specified API operation.
Availability Percent Average, Minimum, Maximum GeoType, ApiName, Authentication PT1M Yes
Transaction Egress

The amount of egress data. This number includes egress to external client from Azure Storage as well as egress within Azure. As a result, this number does not reflect billable egress.
Egress Bytes Total (Sum), Average, Minimum, Maximum GeoType, ApiName, Authentication PT1M Yes
Transaction Ingress

The amount of ingress data, in bytes. This number includes ingress from an external client into Azure Storage as well as ingress within Azure.
Ingress Bytes Total (Sum), Average, Minimum, Maximum GeoType, ApiName, Authentication PT1M Yes
Transaction Success E2E Latency

The average end-to-end latency of successful requests made to a storage service or the specified API operation, in milliseconds. This value includes the required processing time within Azure Storage to read the request, send the response, and receive acknowledgment of the response.
SuccessE2ELatency MilliSeconds Average, Minimum, Maximum GeoType, ApiName, Authentication PT1M Yes
Transaction Success Server Latency

The average time used to process a successful request by Azure Storage. This value does not include the network latency specified in SuccessE2ELatency.
SuccessServerLatency MilliSeconds Average, Minimum, Maximum GeoType, ApiName, Authentication PT1M Yes
Transaction Transactions

The number of requests made to a storage service or the specified API operation. This number includes successful and failed requests, as well as requests which produced errors. Use ResponseType dimension for the number of different type of response.
Transactions Count Total (Sum) ResponseType, GeoType, ApiName, Authentication, TransactionType PT1M Yes
Capacity Used capacity

The amount of storage used by the storage account. For standard storage accounts, it's the sum of capacity used by blob, table, file, and queue. For premium storage accounts and Blob storage accounts, it is the same as BlobCapacity or FileCapacity.
UsedCapacity Bytes Average <none> PT1H Yes
