Azure

概要

To use Azure Cloud Cost Management in Datadog, you must set up the Datadog Azure integration and set up amortized and actual exports in Azure. Additionally, Datadog must have permissions to read the exports from the container.

Datadog provides cost visibility on a Subscription, Resource Group, and Billing Account Level. Microsoft Customer Agreements (MCA) can only set up at the Subscription level. Pay as you go (PAYG) and CSP accounts are not supported.

セットアップ

Configure the Azure integration

Navigate to Setup & Configuration and select an Azure account from the menu to pull costs from. If you do not see your Azure account in the list, view your Azure integration to add your account.

コストエクスポートの生成

You need to generate exports for two data types: actual and amortized. Datadog recommends using the same storage container for both exports.

エクスポートが別のコンテナに入っている場合は、他のコンテナについて手順 1〜7 を繰り返します。

コストマネジメントリーダーへのアクセス構成

注: スコープが Billing Account の場合、このアクセスは構成する必要はありません。

Navigate to your subscriptions and click your subscription’s name.
Access Control (IAM) タブを選択します。
Add をクリックし、次に Add role assignment をクリックします。
Cost Management Reader を選択し、Next をクリックします。
Assign these permissions to the app registration.

This ensures complete cost accuracy by allowing periodic cost calculations against Microsoft Cost Management.

Datadog でクラウドコストを構成する

Navigate to Setup & Configuration and follow the steps.

コストタイプ

インジェストしたデータは、以下のコストタイプで視覚化することができます。

コストタイプ	説明
`azure.cost.amortized`	適用される割引率に基づくコストと、割引期間中の使用量に応じたプリペイドの配分 (発生主義)。
`azure.cost.actual`	コストは、使用時に請求される金額で表示されます (現金主義)。実際のコストには、プライベート割引、リザーブドインスタンスやセービングプランの割引が別の料金タイプとして含まれています。
`azure.cost.discounted.ondemand`	Cost based on the list rate provided by Azure, after privately negotiated discounts. To get the true on-demand cost, divide this metric by (1 - <negotiated_discount>). For example if you have a 5% flat rate discount across all Azure products, taking this metric and dividing by .95 (1-.05) provides the true on-demand price.

すぐに使えるタグ

Datadog adds out-of-the-box tags to ingested cost data to help you further break down and allocate your costs. These tags are derived from your usage cost report and make it easier to discover and understand cost data.

Cost and observability correlation

Viewing costs in context of observability data is important to understand how infrastructure changes impact costs, identify why costs change, and optimize infrastructure for both costs and performance. Datadog adds the name tag on cost data for top Azure products to simplify correlating observability and cost metrics.

For example, to view cost and utilization for each Azure VM, you can make a table with azure.cost.amortized and azure.vm.network_in_total (or any other VM metric) and group by name. Or, to see Storage usage and costs side by side, you can filter into metercategory:Storage and graph azure.storage.transactions and azure.cost.amortized grouped by name.

Getting historical data

You can create historical data in your storage account using the Microsoft API or by creating a support ticket with Microsoft to have them backfill cost data. Cloud Cost Management automatically pulls in up to 15 months of historical data as long as the file structure and partitioning follows the format of scheduled exports.
