Discovery rules

The Centreon Monitoring Connector Azure Storage Account includes a Host Discovery provider to automatically discover the Azure instances of a given subscription and add them to the Centreon configuration. This provider is named Microsoft Azure Storage Account:

This discovery feature is only compatible with the api custom mode. azcli is not supported.

More information about discovering hosts automatically is available on the dedicated page.

Prerequisites

Please find all the prerequisites needed for Centreon to get information from Azure on the dedicated page.

Setup

Online License

1. Install the package on every Centreon poller expected to monitor Azure Storage Account resources:

yum install centreon-plugin-Cloud-Azure-Storage-StorageAccount-Api

2. On the Centreon web interface, on page Configuration > Monitoring Connector Manager, install the Azure Storage Account Centreon Monitoring Connector.

Offline License

1. Install the package on every Centreon poller expected to monitor Azure Storage Account resources:

yum install centreon-plugin-Cloud-Azure-Storage-StorageAccount-Api

2. Install the Azure Storage Account Centreon Monitoring Connector RPM on the Centreon central server:

yum install centreon-pack-cloud-azure-storage-storageaccount

3. On the Centreon web interface, on page Configuration > Monitoring Connector Manager, install the Azure Storage Account Centreon Monitoring Connector.

Configuration

Host

• Log into Centreon and add a new host through Configuration > Hosts.
• In the IP Address/DNS field, set the following IP address: 127.0.0.1.
• Aplly the Cloud-Azure-Storage-StorageAccount-Account-custom template to the host.
• Once the template is applied, fill in the corresponding macros. Some macros are mandatory. These mandatory macros differ depending on the custom mode used.

Two methods can be used to set the macros:

• Full ID of the Resource (/subscriptions/<subscription_id>/resourceGroups/<resourcegroup_id>/providers/XXXXX/XXXXX/<resource_name>) in AZURERESOURCE
• Resource name in the AZURERESOURCE macro, and resource group name in the AZURERESOURCEGROUP macro.

Azure Monitor API

Mandatory	Macro	Description
X	AZUREAPICUSTOMMODE	Custom mode api
X	AZURECLIENTID	Client ID
X	AZURECLIENTSECRET	Client secret
X	AZURERESOURCE	ID or name of the Azure Classic Storage resource
	AZURERESOURCEGROUP	Resource group name if resource name is used
X	AZURESUBSCRIPTION	Subscription ID
X	AZURETENANT	Tenant ID

Azure AZ CLI

Mandatory	Macro	Description
X	AZURECLICUSTOMMODE	Custom mode azcli
X	AZURERESOURCE	ID or name of the Azure Classic Storage resource
	AZURERESOURCEGROUP	Resource group name if resource name is used
X	AZURESUBSCRIPTION	Subscription ID

How to check in the CLI that the configuration is OK and what are the main options for?

Once the plugin is installed, log into your Centreon poller's CLI using the centreon-engine user account (su - centreon-engine) and test the plugin by running the following command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_azure_storage_storageaccount_api.pl \
    --plugin=cloud::azure::storage::storageaccount::plugin \
    --mode=transactions-latency \
    --resource='/subscriptions/xxx/resourceGroups/rgdev/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/storageaccountdev' \
    --resource-group='' \
    --subscription='xxx' \
    --tenant='xxx' \
    --client-id='xxx' \
    --client-secret='xxx' \
    --proxyurl='' \
    --storage-type='' \
    --timeframe='' \
    --interval='' \
    --aggregation='' \
    --warning-successserverlatency-average='' \
    --critical-successserverlatency-average='' \
    --warning-successe2elatency-average='' \
    --critical-successe2elatency-average='' \
    --use-new-perfdata

The expected command output is shown below:

OK: Resource 'storageaccountdev' (Account) average SuccessServerLatency: 10.00 ms, SuccessE2ELatency: 10.17 ms | 'successserverlatency_average'=10.00ms;;;0; 'successe2elatency_average'=10.17ms;;;0;

All available options for a given mode can be displayed by adding the --help parameter to the command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_azure_storage_storageaccount_api.pl \
    --plugin=cloud::azure::storage::storageaccount::plugin \
    --mode=transactions-latency \
    --help

All available modes can be displayed by adding the --list-mode parameter to the command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_azure_storage_storageaccount_api.pl \
    --plugin=cloud::azure::storage::storageaccount::plugin \
    --list-mode
