Where are dimensions of load balancer metrics within log analytics


I'm trying to build a Kusto query based on dimension attributes of the DipAvailability metric for a load balancer in log analytics. Documentation states they are ProtocolType, BackendPort, FrontendIPAddress, FrontendPort, BackendIPAddress, but I cannot see them anywhere in the DipAvailability metric data.

UPDATE: Screenshot of where I'm trying to grab the multi-dimensional data. enter image description here


Solution

  • Log analytics currently works only for public Basic load balancers. See here.

    Azure Standard load balancer provides new multi-dimensional diagnostic capabilities through Azure Monitor for both public and internal load balancer configurations. You can view these load balancer metrics via the metric page on the Azure portal. You also could retrieve multi-dimensional metric definitions and values, see Azure Monitoring REST API walkthrough.

    Update

    You can view these multi-dimensional metrics through Azure Monitor for standard Load Balancer. Add Filter to select ProtocolType, BackendPort, FrontendIPAddress, FrontendPort, BackendIPAddress. Also note that

    Sending multi-dimensional metrics via diagnostic settings is not currently supported. Metrics with dimensions are exported as flattened single dimensional metrics, aggregated across dimension values.

    Refer to Supported metrics with Azure Monitor.
