Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL Cluster monitoring integration

Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL offers a distributed relational database solution that enables you to create scalable PostgreSQL apps.

With Site24x7's integration, now you can monitor your database with accurate metrics, configure thresholds, and get instant alerts if there is a breach.

Setup and configuration

Adding an Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL Cluster while configuring a new Azure monitor

If you haven't configured an Azure Monitor yet, add one by following the steps below:

Log in to your Site24x7 account.
Choose Cloud from the left navigation pane, and select Azure > Add Azure Monitor. You can also follow these steps to add an Azure Monitor.
During Azure monitor configuration, in the Add Azure Monitor page, select Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL Cluster along with other required resource types from the Service/Resource Types drop-down. Check if you have configured the corresponding Resource groups and Tag filters in the Edit page.

Adding an Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL Cluster to an existing Azure monitor

If you already have an Azure monitor configured for the tenant, you can add the Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL Cluster using the following steps:

Log in to your Site24x7 account.
Navigate to Cloud > Azure > select the Azure monitor from the left pane for which you wish to add an Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL Cluster.
In the Service View page, click the Enable Monitoring button in the Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL Cluster Service type. Check if you have configured the corresponding Resource groups and Tag filters in the Edit page.

Note

It will take 15-30 minutes to discover new Azure resources. To immediately discover the selected configuration, click Discover Now in the top-right corner, by doing which all the resources that match the filters configured in Azure Edit page will be discovered even if the Auto-Discover New Resources option is disabled.

Now, you can view the discovered databases from the Service View dashboard itself.

Polling frequency

Site24x7's Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL Cluster monitor collects metric data every minute and the statuses from your applications every five minutes.

Supported metrics

Metric	Description	Statistic	Unit
Active Connections	The number of active connections	Average	Count
Reserved Memory percent	The percentage of commit memory limit reserved by applications	Average	Percent
CPU Credits Consumed	The total number of credits consumed by the node. Only available when burstable compute is provisioned on the node.	Average	Count
CPU Credits Remaining	The total number of credits available to burst. Only available when burstable compute is provisioned on the node.	Average	Count
CPU percent	The average amount of CPU	Average	Percent
IOPS	The number of IO (Input-Output) operations per second	Average	Count
Memory percent	The average amount of memory	Average	Percent
Network Out	The total amount of network outgoing across active connections	Total	Bytes
Network In	The total amount of network incoming across active connections	Total	Bytes
Replication lag	The amount of read replica nodes that are behind their counterparts in the primary cluster	Average	Milliseconds
Storage percent	The average amount of storage	Average	Percent
Storage used	The average amount of storage used	Average	Bytes
VM Cached Bandwidth Consumed Percentage	The average percentage of cached disk bandwidth consumed by the VM	Average	Percent
VM Cached IOPS Consumed Percentage	The average percentage of cached disk IOPS consumed by the VM	Average	Percent
VM Uncached Bandwidth Consumed Percentage	The average percentage of uncached disk bandwidth consumed by the VM	Average	Percent
VM Uncached IOPS Consumed Percentage	The average percentage of uncached disk IOPS consumed by the VM	Average	Percent

Threshold configuration

Associating a threshold profile can be done from the monitor Edit page:

Under Configuration Profiles > Threshold and Availability > select the corresponding threshold profile from the drop-down.

Note

The changes done for this threshold profile will be applied to all the associated monitors. You can either add or edit the threshold profile by clicking the + or

pencil icon respectively.

Bulk Action:

Bulk association of threshold profiles can be done from Admin page (Admin > Inventory > Bulk Action > Under Monitor Configuration, go to Modify Threshold Profile).

You can set the threshold values for the metrics by selecting the Threshold and Availability option. You can also configure IT automation at the attribute level.

Default thresholds

Site24x7 alerts you based on a set of default thresholds. These default thresholds ensure that your database capacity is not overutilized, thus maintaining optimal storage and performance. This also helps in reducing costs. The default thresholds are provided for the below metrics:

Coordinator Server Edition Changed
Coordinator Storage Quota Changed
Node Storage Quota Changed
Coordinator VCore Changed
Node VCore Changed
CPU percent
Memory percent
Storage percent
Active Connections

IT automation

Site24x7 offers a set of exclusive IT automation tools to auto-resolve performance degradation issues. These tools react to events proactively rather than waiting for manual intervention.

How to configure IT Automation for a monitor.

Configuration Rules

With Site24x7's Configuration Rules, you can set parameters like Threshold Profile, Notification Profile, Tags, and Monitor Group for multiple monitors. These rules can be configured and run for the existing or new monitors (during addition) matching the given criteria.

Reports

Gain in-depth data about the various parameters of your monitored resources and accentuate your service performance using our insightful reports.

To view reports for an Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL Cluster:

Navigate to the Reports section on the left navigation pane.
Select Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL Cluster from the menu on the left.

You can find the Availability Summary Report, and Performance Report for one selected monitor, or you can get the Inventory Report, Summary Report, Availability Summary Report, Health Trend Report, and Performance Report for all the monitors.

Schedule reports

You can also schedule the Inventory Report by navigating to Reports > Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL Cluster > Inventory Report and clicking the Share This button at the top-right corner. In the Schedule Report pop-up, choose the monitor, assign the desired frequency—daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly—and receive the regular reports of your inventory details to the groups that you desire.

Site24x7 Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL Cluster monitoring also provides CosmosDB by PostgreSQL Version reports that will enable you to gain deeper insight into your resources.
