Table: azure_compute_virtual_machine_metric_cpu_utilization_hourly - Query Azure Compute Virtual Machine Metrics using SQL

Azure Compute is a service within Microsoft Azure that provides scalable and secure virtual machines. It allows users to deploy and manage applications across a global network of Microsoft-managed data centers. Azure Compute provides a variety of virtual machine configurations to handle different workloads and performance requirements.

Table Usage Guide

The azure_compute_virtual_machine_metric_cpu_utilization_hourly table provides insights into the CPU utilization of Azure Compute Virtual Machines on an hourly basis. As a system administrator or DevOps engineer, explore machine-specific details through this table, including CPU usage patterns, peak usage times, and potential performance bottlenecks. Utilize it to monitor and manage resource allocation, ensuring optimal performance and cost-effectiveness of your Azure Compute resources.

Examples

CPU Over 80% average

Determine the areas in which the average CPU utilization exceeds 80% on Azure's virtual machines. This can be useful for identifying potential performance issues and ensuring efficient resource allocation.

select
  name,
  timestamp,
  round(minimum :: numeric, 2) as min_cpu,
  round(maximum :: numeric, 2) as max_cpu,
  round(average :: numeric, 2) as avg_cpu,

from
  azure_compute_virtual_machine_metric_cpu_utilization_hourly
where
  average > 80
order by

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- azure

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_azure --config '<your_config>' azure_compute_virtual_machine_metric_cpu_utilization_hourly
