Azure Event Hubs Namespace monitoring integration

Azure Event Hubs Namespace is a management container that enables you to create one or more event hubs.

With Site24x7's integration, you can monitor your event hubs with accurate metrics, configure thresholds, and get instant alerts if there is a breach.

Setup and configuration

Adding an Azure Event Hubs Namespace while configuring a new Azure monitor

If you haven't configured an Azure Monitor yet, add one by following the steps below:

1. Log in to your Site24x7 account.
2. Choose Cloud from the left navigation pane, and select Azure > Add Azure Monitor. You can also follow these steps to add an Azure Monitor.
3. During Azure monitor configuration, in the Add Azure Monitor page, select Azure Event Hubs Namespace along with other required resource types from the Service/Resource Types drop-down. Check if you have configured the corresponding Resource groups and Tag filters in the Edit page.

Adding an Azure Event Hubs Namespace to an existing Azure monitor

If you already have an Azure monitor configured for the tenant, you can add the Azure Event Hubs Namespace using the following steps:

1. Log in to your Site24x7 account.
2. Navigate to Cloud > Azure > select the Azure monitor from the left pane for which you wish to add an Azure Event Hubs Namespace.
3. In the Service View page, click the Enable Monitoring button in the Azure Event Hubs Namespace Service type. Check if you have configured the corresponding Resource groups and tag filters in the Edit page. 

It will take 15-30 minutes to discover new Azure resources. To immediately discover the selected configuration, click Discover Now in the top-right corner, by doing which all the resources that match the filters configured in Azure Edit page will be discovered even if the Auto-Discover New Resources option is disabled. 

Now, you can view the discovered databases from the Service View dashboard itself.

Polling frequency

Site24x7's Azure Event Hubs Namespace monitor collects metric data every minute and the statuses from your applications every five minutes.

Supported metrics

Threshold configuration

Associating a threshold profile can be done from the monitor Edit page:

• Under Configuration Profiles > Threshold and Availability > select the corresponding threshold profile from the drop-down. 

The changes done for this threshold profile will be applied to all the associated monitors. You can either add or edit the threshold profile by clicking the + or pencil icon respectively.

Bulk Action:

Bulk association of threshold profiles can be done from Admin page (Admin >  Inventory > Bulk Action > Under Monitor Configuration, go to Modify Threshold Profile).

You can set the threshold values for the metrics by selecting the Threshold and Availability option. You can also configure IT automation at the attribute level.

Default thresholds

Site24x7 alerts you based on a set of default thresholds. These default thresholds ensure that your database capacity is not overutilized, thus maintaining optimal storage and performance. This also helps in reducing costs. The default thresholds are provided for the below metrics:

• Auto-Inflate Status Changed
• Maximum Throughput Units Changed
• Capacity Changed
• Server Errors
• User Errors
• Quota Exceeded Errors
• Throttled Requests
• Server Busy Errors (Deprecated)
• Internal Server Errors (Deprecated)
• Other Errors (Deprecated)
• CPU
• Memory Usage

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.

Configuration Rules

With Site24x7's Configuration Rules, you can set parameters like Threshold Profile, Notification Profile, Tags, and Monitor Group for multiple monitors. These rules can be configured and run for the existing or new monitors (during addition) matching the given criteria.

Reports

Gain in-depth data about the various parameters of your monitored resources and accentuate your service performance using our insightful reports.

To view reports for an Azure Event Hubs Namespace:

• Navigate to the Reports section on the left navigation pane.
• Select Azure Event Hubs Namespace from the menu on the left.

You can find the Availability Summary Report, and Performance Report for one selected monitor, or you can get the Inventory Report, Summary Report, Availability Summary Report, Health Trend Report, and Performance Report for all the monitors.

Schedule reports

You can also schedule the Inventory Report by navigating to Reports > Azure Event Hubs Namespace > Inventory Report and clicking the Share This button at the top-right corner. In the Schedule Report pop-up, choose the monitor, assign the desired frequency—daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly—and receive the regular reports of your inventory details to the groups that you desire.

Site24x7 Azure Event Hubs Namespace monitoring also provides Event Hub Maximum Throughput Units reports that will enable you to gain deeper insight into your resources. 

Top N and Bottom N reports

• Service Availability
• Normalized RU Consumption
• Data Usage
• Index Usage
