I've recently been playing around with the Bing's image search api, however I have a concern I hope to resolve.
It is to do with the limit on the number of api requests that are allowed per month. After doing some reading it seems like if I were to exceed this limit, my Azure account would be billed depending on the number of api calls I have gone over my limit. Is it possible to set up some kind of alert through the Azure management portal that will stop the api from processing any more calls once a specific threshold has been passed?
If anyone has any experience using the Search api and can enlighten me, that would be great.
Try Metrics Monitoring. Go to the service within Azure Portal, Scroll Down to Monitoring -> Metrics and then click Add Metric Alert.
You can create an alert based on the number of successful calls or total calls and the alert can notify you via e-mail. Additionally, if you want to take action automatically after reaching the threshold, you can use Webhooks to make a call out to a web application or Azure Automation Runbook to automatically run PowerShell scripts or some code to prevent overuse. You can also use Logic Apps for that. Check the following link for further details and examples at the end of the page:

I have an application installed on a VM that publishes a page via OData.
I need to be able to trigger a high urgency alert based on one specific value published by the page.
I am little aware of Application Insights to monitor applications in Azure. But I am not sure if there is a way to read the data from the API and trigger an alert.
What options do I have to accomplish this in Azure?
Pls allow me to share my idea here.
creating app insights alert
enable app insights for azure vm
First, adding app insights to your application can made AI to capture your requests, dependencies, logs and some other messages, including calling API.
In my thoughts, I can log the response message of the API and set alert for some specific keywords. I created an azure function, and it will call MS graph API when triggered, and log the response. This function has integrated AI, so I created an alert by kql:
traces
| where timestamp > ago(30m) and message contains "xxx"
and set alert rule based on number of results greater than 0. When the alert was triggered, it will send email to my mailbox to mention me.
This means any time my API returned the response contains specific words, I will receive an email about it.
I wanted to monitor Azure Logic Apps with the help of Azure Monitor alerts. In alerts, I came across a metric Run Throttled events which is showing some numbers in recent days. But I couldn't find any events anywhere to resolve the issue. Is it possible view the actual run throttled events in Azure Portal?
You will need to setup diagnostic logging for Logic Apps, see here.
When you are done with the setup and initial run through of logs and if interested you want to look at more advanced queries via this logs data then go here.
Specifically on throttling you need to see this. Also take a look at limits set for Logic Apps from here as well.
I'm using the Azure WebJob dashboard for monitoring my jobs. I'm not happy with how far I have to drill into the into the interface to determine what's happening. I'd like to leverage the "Status" field on the webjob details page to show if a particular invocation needs attention and in cases where I consider an invocation a failure, even if it didn't blow up.
I've searched through the Azure WebJobs docs and the features of the Azure WebJobs SDK Extensions package with no luck (but I don't doubt I might have missed it). I manually setting this field possible?

As far as I know, it seems that it does not enable us to set status field by ourselves on Azure WebJob Dashboard. If you’d like to display WebJob run details without clicking into the interface, you could try to call WebJobs API to get job runs history and retrieve output or error information from logs by requesting output_url or error_url, and then you could create a custom dashboard and populate it with the output and error details data.
No, you can't set it yourself.
The Kudu APIs may not give you enough detail for individual function instances.
Consider putting a feature request on https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk/
There has been some more investment in exposing a logging API directly over the storage account.
i have question regarding Azure API Management again : ).
i am using API management which is API Gateway doing HTTPS to Azure Storage REST API directly
and is there any way that i cant get email notification when there are massive requests or high latency at response ??
Thanx for reading : )
You can configure alert notifications either in the portal or via the REST API or .NET SDK to monitor for specific Azure Storage Metrics that you want.
See https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/insights-receive-alert-notifications/ for more details.
For massive requests, you might want to consider using "TotalRequests" or "TotalBillableRequests" in a specific time period.
For high response latency, you can track "AverageE2ELatency" or "AverageServerLatency" in a specific time period.
See https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-monitoring-diagnosing-troubleshooting/#monitoring-performance for more details on these specific metrics and how they relate to performance monitoring.
Hope this helps.
Sriprasad's answer makes sense for configuration from the Storage side. From the API Management side, you cannot currently set a notification on any event other than the built-in ones (subscription requests, new subscriptions, application gallery requests, new issues/comments, approaching of user subscription quota limit).
You can use Log-To-Eventhub policy to log a message to event hub for every request and consume it in a custom or third party solution like AppInsights/Runscopee to fire an alert.
Refer
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/api-management-log-to-eventhub-sample/
If your requirement is to get report/metrics from API Management you can use the management rest api's for APIM.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn781421.aspx
Specifically you might want to look at reportByAPI (which gives you useful metrics in response like callcounts, apiTimeAvg) based on which you can setup alerts/email notification.

I want to make a dashboard which shows the status of our Azure services bus queues and displays the history for "messages added to queue", "length of queue" and "messages processed" etc. Using the Azure Management Portal, I can see that most of these statistics manually for each queue.
Is there any way to get access to the data that is displayed in the Management Portal through one of the APIs as I want to combine the data from number of queues that we use into a single interface. I have searched in vain but I don't want to log my own statistics as that seems like redoing a task that Microsoft already perform.
Currently with REST API all I can see is how to get the current approximate count of messages in the queue.
There is an API for this now (wasn't back when the OP created the thread):
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/azure/dn163589.aspx (REST)
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt348562.aspx (.NET)
Also, I believe it should be available via Azure Insights API:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.azure.insights.aspx
It is possible to fetch the Count of Messages in a Queue, Incoming Messages, Outgoing Messages with the help of the latest Azure Monitor Metrics, with which you can build you own Dashboard. Or you can make use of the Azure Monitor in Azure portal, which allows you to configure dashboards and alerts.
