[User story] ....Identify metrics and dimensions that will impact SCI for a Azure virtual machine #21

Closed srini1978 closed 6 months ago

srini1978 commented 8 months ago

As a developer I want to identify all the metrices and the corresponding dimensions that will impact SCI scores for an Azure virtual machine so that I can call the Azure Monitor API with the right metric name and filter.

Implementation Idea To identify all metrics that are possible in an Azure VM, call the REST APIs given below.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/rest-api-walkthrough?tabs=portal#retrieve-metric-definitions https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/rest-api-walkthrough?tabs=portal#retrieve-dimension-values

Look at the metric definitions and dimension values to understand which will impact carbon.

As per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/reference/supported-metrics/microsoft-compute-virtualmachines-metrics the key metrics that will affect SCI from a VM standpoint are

  1. CPU percentage - Average and sampled every 1 minute. The percentage of allocated compute units that are currently in use by the Virtual Machine(s).
  2. Data Disk Bandwidth Consumed Percentage
  3. Data Disk IOPS Consumed Percentage
  4. Network In- The number of bytes received on all network interfaces by the Virtual Machine(s) (Incoming Traffic).
  5. Network Out- The number of bytes out on all network interfaces by the Virtual Machine(s) (Outgoing Traffic).
