Introduction

This Azure Load Balancer discovery plugin for Pandora FMS is designed to automate the monitoring of **Azure Load Balancer** resources in an Azure subscription. The plugin dynamically discovers the available Load Balancers, retrieves their main metrics through Azure Monitor, and generates agents and modules in Pandora FMS.

The plugin can work in two ways: by creating one agent for each discovered Load Balancer, or by sending all modules to a single agent configured by the user. It also allows filtering by resource group, applying custom prefixes, controlling the discovered entities cache, and selecting module groups according to the type of metric to monitor.

The implemented metrics are based on the metrics used for Azure Load Balancer, including availability, health probe status, traffic, SYN packets, SNAT port usage, and backend pool host count.
