Azure Service Bus monitoring integration

New Relic infrastructure monitoring provides an integration for Microsoft Azure Service Bus that reports data from your Azure Service Bus service to New Relic. This document explains how to activate this integration and describes the data that can be captured.

Features

New Relic's integration for Azure Service Bus reports metric data about your Service Bus service, like the number of messages in the queue, the number of dead letter messages, and the byte size of the queue. It also collects data about the status and configuration of the service.

You can monitor and alert on your Azure Service Bus data from New Relic, and you can create custom queries and chart dashboards.

Activate integration

To enable this integration follow standard procedures to activate your Azure service in New Relic.

Configuration and polling

You can change the polling frequency and filter data using configuration options.

Default polling information for the Service Bus integration:

Polling interval: 5 minutes
Resolution: 1 data point per minute

Find and use data

To find your integration data, go to one.newrelic.com > All capabilities > Infrastructure > Azure and look for the integration.

You can query and explore your data using these event types:

Namespace data: AzureServiceBusNamespaceSample
Queue data: AzureServiceBusQueueSample
Subscription data: AzureServiceBusSubscriptionSample
Topic data: AzureServiceBusTopicSample
