This check monitors Azure metrics that are collected via OpenTelemetry.

The OTel collector marks every Azure metric with a dedicated resource attribute. This check subscribes to all metrics carrying that marker. Azure Monitor reports each metric with several statistic types (average, minimum, maximum, total, count), which arrive as separate OTel metric names sharing a common base name. This check groups those statistics of one Azure metric into a single service. On a single check, each of these statistics normally carries just one already-current value. But more than one such value can arrive for the same statistic on the same host — not as several samples over time, but as several distinct resources reporting under one host, for example several identical instances of a resource, or multiple resources grouped onto one host. Checkmk merges these values into one using the configurable "Replica aggregation method" (average, sum, min, or max; sum by default).

When configuring levels for a specific metric individually, predictive levels are available in addition to fixed levels, based on that metric's own historical baseline. Predictive levels are not available when configuring levels for all metrics at once.

Item

The name of the Azure metric (base name, without the statistic suffix).

Discovery

One service is created for each Azure metric, grouping together all of its statistic types (average, minimum, maximum, total, count).
