description Azure Storage Insights Overview

Azure Storage Insights is a monitoring feature within Microsoft's Azure cloud platform that provides observability into storage account performance and health. Integrated directly with Azure Monitor, the service aggregates telemetry data from various storage services, including Blob, Files, Queues, and Tables. It presents this data through pre-built workbooks and visual dashboards, displaying metrics on transaction volumes, latency, and capacity limits. The tool is designed for cloud architects and administrators managing enterprise-scale infrastructure.

help Azure Storage Insights FAQ

What does Azure Storage Insights monitor?

It provides workbooks for Azure Storage availability, transactions, latency, failures, and capacity across blobs, files, tables, and queues. It is integrated into Azure Monitor and can show either one storage account or a wider subscription view.

Do I need to install an agent to use Azure Storage Insights?

Microsoft says storage metrics are collected by default and that accessing Storage Insights itself has no charge. Azure Monitor alerts, logs, and other enabled services can still create separate usage charges. [Azure Storage Insights](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-insights-overview)

Can Storage Insights monitor many storage accounts at once?

Yes. The overview workbook can display up to 200 storage accounts and can scope across multiple subscriptions, with the documentation describing up to 10 subscriptions for a saved scope. [Azure Storage Insights](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-insights-overview)

Can I customize Storage Insights thresholds and dashboards?

Yes. Workbooks can be edited, saved as custom reports, and pinned to an Azure dashboard; the documented default availability thresholds are 99% for warning and 90% for critical. Those workbook thresholds are not the same as an Azure Storage service-level agreement.
