How to scrape Azure resource count limits and quotas for different resource types?

[kaustubhdpatil]

We are evaluating Promitor to get the list of metrics for the Azure resources that are listed by the Azure Monitoring APIs. Although was wondering if there is a way to scrape the used count and the capacity by subscription for various Azure resources. Following are some of the resources we plan to get these counts for:

• SQL Servers per subscription
• SQL Databases per server

Is there a way to monitor this kind of metric using Promitor? I was not sure if there was already a way to scrape this information. Or is this something that is considered to be out of scope for Promitor?

Are you asking to scrape the resource quotas for a given service - Is that a good summary?

@tomkerkhove sorry for the late response. But yes more or less the resource quotas. For example the following output that shows the limit for the storage accounts and the number of accounts added so far -

{
  "value": [
    {
      "unit": "Count",
      "currentValue": 55,
      "limit": 250,
      "name": {
        "value": "StorageAccounts",
        "localizedValue": "Storage Accounts"
      }
    }
  ]
}

As these metrics also would need to be monitored. Is there a way to achieve this in Promitor?
