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](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](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-azure.html).
