Generated agents and modules

With Create one agent per Storage Account enabled, the plugin creates one agent per account named <Agent name prefix><storage account name>. If the prefix does not end in a space, hyphen, period, or underscore, a space is added automatically. When the token is disabled, the plugin uses one Target agent and adds the account name to the beginning of each module name.

Generated agents use Azure as their operating system, inherit the task group and interval, and use mode 2 when Agent autodisable mode is enabled or mode 1 when it is disabled.

Azure Storage Connection is always created as generic_proc, with value 1 for discovered accounts. When a cached account disappears, its agent is retained and the module reports 0 until the entity is removed during a cache rebuild.

Storage account metrics

  • Account Used Capacity: generic_data, GiB.
  • Account Capacity Quota: generic_data, GiB; Standard accounts only.
  • Account Used Capacity Percentage: generic_data, percent; Standard accounts only.
  • Account Transactions_Current: generic_data, requests.

Modules allow regexp and Modules deny regexp are evaluated against the final name of every module. In consolidated mode, the final name includes the storage account prefix.
