[rajim17]

The purpose and use-cases of the new component

This component is to collect metrics from Azure Monitor platform and parse into OTLP metric format. Azure Monitor provides OS/CPU and major resource level metrics users are interested. List of metrics supported by Azure Monitor can be found here.

Component also provides a way to configure interested metric namespaces to collect.

Example configuration for the component

receivers:
    azuremetric/5_min:
        subscription_id: <azure_subscription_1> // (mandatory) Azure subscription ID
        collection_interval:300
        timegrain: <1M> //  ( optional: default 1M ) fetch 1 min interval metrics for the past 5 mins
        metric_providers: // metric namespace of the resource providers

Additional context

• Azure MetricReceiver will use http client using azure-sdk/azquery module.
• Component can dynamically query all the resources under the subscription and fetch metrics for configured metric namespaces for those resources.
• It also groups multiple metric names and dimensions to reduce number of metric requests to Azure platform.

Thank you for opening this, @rajim17. It sounds very similar to issue #18899 which has an open PR in #18898. Could it potentially help with your use case if you provide review on that PR and/or improve the specification in the issue?

@nslaughter Thanks for pointing out. I should be able to contribute. I will review and add my comments
