check_azure

check_azure

Nagios/Icinga like check to monitor Microsoft azure objects

To use this check you need some keys which are a little hidden if you are new to the subject:

• clientId
• clientSecret
• subscriptionId
• tenantId

The first two are identifying your application. You have to register the app because it is using Microsoft OAuth service. Here is a short documentation: https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/bb676626.aspx The third one is the key which identifies your azure abo. If your on the azure website it is basically everywhere, here is one place to find it: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/mschray/2015/05/13/getting-your-azure-guid-subscription-id/ The last one also not too hard to find, here is one way to do it: http://merill.net/2015/01/how-to-get-the-azure-ad-tenant-id-without-powershell/

At last you have to give your new registered application the right to read the data in azure, therefore add your application to your resourcegroup as reader this can be done in the accesscontrol.

Now the hard stuff is over ;)

Currently supported are

• Subscriptions

• Classic Virtual Machines

• CPU

• Network

• Disk

more to come if Microsoft opens up... The REST API is very limited at the moment.

Be careful there is a direct context between subscriptionId -> resourceGroup -> name. You could have multiple subscriptionIds, where every id contains multiple groups with multiple objects.
