Linux Disk IOPS

[fabiansc]

Hello!

I am looking for gathering IOPS information for Azure VMs using Elastics Metricsbeats. We are currently running on metricbeat 7.7 per user (optional: per process).
Is there any possibility to gather this kind of metrics using elastic?

Big thanks in advance!

hi @fabiansc,

I believe you can do this using Metricbeat and enabling the azure module.
Here you can either use the monitor metricset and select the metrics you wish to retrieve or the compute_vm metricset which will retrieve the most relevant vm metrics.
Regarding IOPS metrics here are a few OS Disk Read Operations/Sec , OS Disk Write Operations/Sec, you can have a better look at the list of metrics here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/metrics-supported#microsoftcomputevirtualmachines. More on the azure module here https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-azure.html.
