Azure Cloud Service Integration With Kloudfuse to Ingest Metrics

Kloudfuse integrates with the Azure cloud service to receive metrics through the Datadog agent. It automatically pulls metrics from your Azure subscriptions, without requiring any additional configuration on the Azure portal.

Enable the Cloud Exporter

To configure sending the metrics to Azure, enable cloud-exporter in the global section of the custom-values.yaml file.

global:
  cloud-exporter:
    enabled: true

Create ClientID, ClientSecret, TenantID, and Subscription

Specify Secret and Subscription Information in the Cloud Exporter

Under kfuse-cloud-exporter, add the following code, replacing the redacted values with your actual values from Azure portal.

Because you can fetch metrics from multiple subscriptions in Azure at the same time, list all your subscriptions in the subscriptions section.

kfuse-cloud-exporter:
  azure-metrics-exporter:
    enabled: true
    subscriptions:
      - xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
      - xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
    secrets:
      AZURE_CLIENT_ID: "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
      AZURE_TENANT_ID: "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
      AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET: "xxxx~xxxxxx"

Alternatively, you can mount authentication information from a secret instead of adding it in plain text in the custom-values.yaml file. In this case, added the following:

kfuse-cloud-exporter:
  azure-metrics-exporter:
    enabled: true
    subscriptions:
      - xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
    extraEnv:
      - name: AZURE_CLIENT_ID
        valueFrom:
          secretKeyRef:
            key: AZURE_CLIENT_ID
            name: <Secret-name>
      - name: AZURE_TENANT_ID
        valueFrom:
          secretKeyRef:
            key: AZURE_TENANT_ID
            name: <Secret-name>
      - name: AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET
        valueFrom:
          secretKeyRef:
            key: AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET
            name: <Secret-name>

The secret must contain these key-value pairs:

data:
 AZURE_CLIENT_ID: "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
 AZURE_TENANT_ID: "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
 AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET: "xxxx~xxxxxx"
