I'm migrating from Librato to Google Cloud Monitoring and I like to embed a dashboard/widget to an external page (think intranet). Not finding anything in the docs at all with regards to this.
Does anyone know if it's possible?
My backup plan is to use the API to get the data and graph it myself https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/custom-metrics/reading-metrics
You can export the Cloud Monitoring data to Grafana, and them use a Grafana embedded link.

So I am building a application in azure and I am using Azure Log Analytics and I am trying to find s good way for people on my team that dont have access to azure but need to be able to access the Logs. Does anyone have simple fast ways to create something like this. Good techinologies good ways to give people access to it?
Is using Power BI to ingest your log analytics queries an option?.
The caveat here would be the need to redo any potential charts and graphs however Power BI offers a lot of functionality as well as opportunities to join with other day sets.
In your scenario the trick would be using a service account credentials when publishing the dataset.
You may try to use Azure Log Analytics rest api.
Then you can provide the authentication(it only authenticates to log analytics, not the entire azure) to the end user, and let them write query to fetch the logs; Or you can write a middle-ware, which can process the query request from end users.
So there are a few ways to do this:
You can use the ALA api to generate a home grown log portal
There are multiple SAS options out there
DataDog
Splunk
AppDynamics
Power Bi
Not specifically logs but prometheus and grafa for matrics and alerts and its dirt cheap compared to app insights
Trying to set up alerts to inform us when a server is offline using azure log analytics. I have the monitor agent installed on all machines within the business but how would I configure this. Any help would be appreciated
To answer your question, refer this document to learn regarding seting up and configuring alerts using alerts interface in Azure portal. And the query in the alert to track when server is offline can be written by leveraging tables like 'Heartbeat' or 'Perf' with 'Uptime' counter name or 'Event', etc. Hope this helps!
According to the link, for Azure search to work, the data needs to be uploaded to the search service. If i have a No-SQL database in Azure as DocumentDB, can the search service be configured to access the data directly from database, rather than uploading the data to the service?
I can not comment below the current thread, so I will add a new reply.
I am a Program Manager with Azure Search and I can confirm Daron's comments about this being a top request. There is also a fair amount of voting for it from our UserVoice page (http://feedback.azure.com/forums/263029-azure-search/suggestions/6328680-auto-indexing-of-docdb). As a result, we have been investigating tighter integration of these technologies.
DocumentDB has POST triggers. You might be able to use it for an integration.
From my understanding a built-in integration is one of the top requests in the Azure Search and DocDB community. We had a lot of discussions around this with DocDB / Azure Search insiders and I remember a lot of people asking for it.
Is it possible to get programmatic access to Azure billing information?
I am aware that you can download a .csv file but that doesn't meet my requirements. I'd really like an API to access the current live billing data.
I can't find anything but I've seen a couple of applications that suggest its possible to do this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETs-NgnZV_U.
Thanks.
Azure now does provide ways to programmatically retrieve your resource usage and pricing data: https://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/new-azure-billing-apis-available
At this tmie it is not. Quest tools scrap data from HTML of the web-pages afaik
The APIs Moinak refers to seem to be old APIs (we used them before switching to Azure Cost Management exports).
It seems like there are some new billing apis: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/billing/
I would like to explore the azure platform and create applications which make use of azure. So i searched for a tutorial which told me to first create an account, yet my country is NOT AVAILABLE so I cannot create an account! Is there any way in which I can still develop applications using azure platform? Is it true there's some form of emulator?
Can anyone be kind enough to give me a few starting links because I have no fundamental skills in this area?
Thanks very much!
When you install the tools + SDK, you'll get a local runtime that emulates compute and storage (storage is actually stored in a local SQL instance, defaulting to SQL Express). You can use SQL Server or SQL Azure for local database simulation. The things you don't get are ACS, Service Bus, and Cache (and maybe something else I'm missing :) ). Check out this link for differences between real storage and simulated storage, and this link for Compute differences.
The emulator is part of the Azure SDK.
