Azure Subnet monitoring configuration
Site24x7's Azure Subnet monitoring feature enables you to track IP address utilization, provisioning state, and network performance of your Azure Subnet resources. With real-time insights, you can ensure optimal network resource allocation, prevent IP exhaustion, and maintain network availability.
Key features
Site24x7's Azure Subnet monitoring integration supports:
- IP address tracking: Monitor available and used IP addresses to prevent subnet exhaustion and plan capacity effectively.
- Utilization monitoring: Track IP usage percentage to identify high-utilization subnets and optimize resource allocation.
- Provisioning state monitoring: Monitor the current provisioning state of your subnets to ensure consistent network configuration.
- Root Cause Analysis: Receive alerts when IP utilization exceeds defined thresholds or provisioning issues occur.
Setup and configuration
You can add Azure Subnet services while adding a new monitor, or you can add it to an existing Azure monitor. Follow these steps to add the service.
Supported metrics
The following metrics are collected:
| Metric name | Description | Statistic | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Available IPs | The number of IP addresses available for allocation within the subnet. | Maximum | Count |
| Used IPs | The number of IP addresses currently allocated and in use within the subnet. | Maximum | Count |
| Used IPs Percentage | The percentage of IP addresses currently in use compared to the total available IP addresses in the subnet. | Average | Percentage |
| Provisioning State | The current provisioning state of the subnet, indicating whether it's successfully provisioned, updating, or failed. | Latest | State |
Threshold configuration
Associating a threshold profile can be done from the monitor's Edit page:
- Under Configuration Profiles > Threshold and Availability > select the corresponding threshold profile from the drop-down.
The changes made to this threshold profile will be applied to all the associated monitors. You can either add or edit a threshold profile by clicking the plus icon + or pencil icon
, respectively.
Bulk Action
Bulk association of threshold profiles can be done from the Admin page (Admin > Inventory > Bulk Action > under Monitor Configuration, go to Modify Threshold Profile).
You can set threshold values for the metrics by selecting the Threshold and Availability option. You can also configure IT automation at the attribute level.
IT automation
Site24x7 offers a set of exclusive IT automation tools to auto-resolve performance degradation issues. These tools react to events proactively rather than waiting for manual intervention.

Configuration Rules
With Site24x7's Configuration Rules, you can set parameters like Threshold Profile, Notification Profile, Tags, and Monitor Group for multiple monitors. These rules can be configured and run for the existing or new monitors (during addition) matching the given criteria.
