Azure Discovery Report 

The Azure Discovery Report in Site24x7 gives you a consolidated view of all resources discovered in your Azure account. This report helps you track resource inventory, growth, and configuration changes over time, ensuring you have complete visibility into your cloud footprint.

This report provides:

• A summary of resources discovered over a month.

• Insights into the resource gaps, i.e., the number of resources added for monitoring vs the number of resources yet to be added.

• The resource count fetched from the API at that time.

 Benefits  

• Detect sudden spikes: Any unusual increase in resource count is captured in the report, provided Site24x7 has the necessary permissions to access your Azure subscription.

• Understand growth trends: Track how your Azure resources change over time, helping you identify spikes, dips, and overall usage patterns.

• Maintain complete visibility: Stay on top of newly added or unmonitored resources to avoid blind spots in monitoring.

• Analyze resource additions: Review how many resources were added during each discovery cycle.

• Track discovery issues: Identify and troubleshoot problems that may affect resource detection.

• Monitor discovery methods: Understand whether resources were added manually, automatically, or through integrations.
