Azure SQL Database Monitoring

Starter

Professional

Bleemeo collects metrics for Azure SQL Database via Azure Monitor (Microsoft.Sql/servers/databases namespace). Metrics are polled every 1 minute.

Metrics

Metric	Description
sql_cpu_used	Percentage of CPU in use relative to the service tier limit
sql_io_reads	Percentage of data IO in use relative to the service tier limit
sql_io_writes	Percentage of log IO in use relative to the service tier limit
sql_mem_used_perc	Percentage of application memory in use relative to the service tier limit
sql_disk_used	Data space used in bytes
sql_disk_used_perc	Percentage of storage space used relative to the service tier limit
sql_connection	Number of successful connections to the database

Note

sql_disk_used, sql_disk_used_perc and sql_mem_used_perc report no data for periods where Azure publishes none — for instance on a paused serverless database, or on a service tier that doesn’t expose application memory at all. A gap on the graph does not mean monitoring stopped.

Permissions

Requires the Monitoring Reader role and the Microsoft.Insights resource provider registered on the subscription — see Permissions Summary.

Estimated Azure Cost

$0.432/month per batch of up to 50 databases in the same region (1 Azure Monitor API call per minute) — see Estimated Azure Costs.
