Metric dimensions

For information about what metric dimensions are, see Multi-dimensional metrics.

This service has the following dimensions associated with its metrics.

Analysis Services metrics have the dimension ServerResourceType.

Resource logs

This section lists the types of resource logs you can collect for this service. The section pulls from the list of all resource logs category types supported in Azure Monitor.

Supported resource logs for Microsoft.AnalysisServices/servers

Category Costs to export Log table Supports basic log plan Supports ingestion-time transformation Example queries
Engine No AzureDiagnostics

Logs from multiple Azure resources.

Service

The Service category logs the following events:

Operation name Occurs when
ResumeServer Resume a server
SuspendServer Pause a server
DeleteServer Delete a server
RestartServer User restarts a server through SSMS or PowerShell
GetServerLogFiles User exports server log through PowerShell
ExportModel User exports a model in the portal by using Open in Visual Studio

Azure Monitor Logs tables

This section lists the Azure Monitor Logs tables relevant to this service, which are available for query by Log Analytics using Kusto queries. The tables contain resource log data and possibly more depending on what is collected and routed to them.

Analysis Services

microsoft.analysisservices/servers

When you set up logging, selecting AllMetrics logs the server metrics to the AzureMetrics table. If you're using query scale-out and need to separate metrics for each read replica, use the AzureDiagnostics table instead, where OperationName is equal to LogMetric.

Activity log

The linked table lists the operations that can be recorded in the activity log for this service. These operations are a subset of all the possible resource provider operations in the activity log.

For more information on the schema of activity log entries, see Activity Log schema.
