Azure Analysis Services

Azure Analysis Services is a fully managed platform as a service (PaaS) that provides enterprise-grade data models in the cloud. This integration monitors server performance and tracks server events like start, stop, pause, restart, and delete.

Log and metric types

For Azure Analysis Services, you can collect the following logs and metrics:

• Engine logs
• Service logs
• Server Metrics. These metrics are available in Microsoft.AnalysisServices/servers namespace. For more information on supported metrics, refer to the Azure documentation.

Setup

Configure collector

Create a hosted collector if not already configured. Make sure you create the required sources in this collector.

Configure logs collection

Azure service sends monitoring data to Azure Monitor, which can then stream data to Eventhub. Sumo Logic supports collecting logs from Azure Monitor using our Azure Event Hubs source.

You must explicitly enable diagnostic settings for each Azure Analysis Services server you want to monitor. You can forward logs to the same event hub provided they satisfy the limitations and permissions as described here.

When you configure the event hubs source, plan your source category to ease the querying process. A hierarchical approach allows you to make use of wildcards. For example: Azure/AnalysisServices/Logs.

In this section, you will configure a pipeline for shipping diagnostic logs from Azure Monitor to an Event Hub.

1. To set up the Azure Event Hubs source in Sumo Logic, refer to Azure Event Hubs Source for Logs.
2. To create the Diagnostic settings in Azure portal, refer to the Azure documentation. Perform the steps below for each Azure Analysis Services server that you want to monitor.
   1. Choose Stream to an event hub as the destination.
   2. Select Engine and Service.
   3. Use the Event hub namespace and Event hub name configured in previous step in destination details section. You can use the default policy RootManageSharedAccessKey as the policy name.

Configure metrics collection

When you configure the Azure Metrics Source, plan your source category to ease the querying process. A hierarchical approach allows you to make use of wildcards. For example: Azure/AnalysisServices/Metrics.

To set up the Azure Metrics source in Sumo Logic, refer to Azure Metrics Source.
