Table: azure_lb_backend_address_pool - Query Azure Load Balancer Backend Address Pools using SQL

A Backend Address Pool is a part of Azure Load Balancer, which contains IP addresses served by the load balancer. It is a critical component for defining the resource allocation and traffic distribution in the Azure Load Balancer. It provides a centralized way to manage and distribute network traffic among multiple resources, such as virtual machines.

Table Usage Guide

The azure_lb_backend_address_pool table provides insights into the backend address pools associated with Azure Load Balancers. As a Network Administrator, explore pool-specific details through this table, including associated load balancers, network interfaces, and IP configurations. Utilize it to understand the distribution of network traffic, manage resource allocation, and ensure optimal load balancing across your Azure resources.

Examples

Basic info

Explore the status and type of your Azure load balancer's backend address pool to understand its current operational state and configuration. This helps in managing and troubleshooting your network traffic operations effectively.

select
  id,
  name,
  load_balancer_name,
  provisioning_state,
  type
from
  azure_lb_backend_address_pool;

select

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_lb_backend_address_pool
