Azure Table Storage

Azure Table Storage is a NoSQL key-value store for structured, non-relational data. Cloudmon monitors capacity, table and entity counts, transactions, and latency across all your Table Storage resources.

Overview

Azure Table Storage is used to store structured data that does not require complex joins or foreign keys and is commonly used for configuration data, user profiles, and application metadata. Cloudmon automatically discovers all Table Storage resources linked to your monitored Azure account. Navigate to Cloud → Azure → [Select Account] → Azure Table Storage to view the full list. Click any resource name to open its detailed monitoring view.

Azure Table Storage List

The list displays all discovered Table Storage resources with the following details:

ColumnDescription
NameThe name of the resource as configured in Azure.
KindThe storage account type, for example, StorageV2.
Resource GroupThe Resource Group this resource belongs to.
LocationThe Azure region where the resource is deployed.
Creation TimeThe date and time the resource was created.
SizeThe replication and performance tier, for example, Standard_LRS or Standard_GZRS.
ActionsToggle to enable or disable monitoring, and an edit icon to update the configuration.

Azure Table Storage Overview

Selecting a Table Storage resource opens its detail page. The overview displays key details, including the Primary Location, SKU, Resource Group, Subscription, Status, and Monitoring Status, among other configuration and availability information.

System Metrics

Cloudmon collects key metrics such as Table Capacity, Table Count, Table Entity Count, Transactions, Ingress, and Egress, among other performance indicators, including latency and availability. These are displayed as time-series charts for the selected time period.

Tables

Lists all tables within the selected resource by name. Use the search bar to filter by table name.

Advisor Recommendations

Surfaces actionable insights from Azure Advisor specific to this Table Storage resource. Recommendations may include enabling zone-redundant storage for improved availability, enforcing a minimum TLS version for secure connections, or restricting public network access to reduce the attack surface. Each recommendation shows its impact level and category across Cost, Security, High Availability, Performance, and Operational Excellence.

Troubleshooting

SymptomLikely CauseFix
Resource not appearing in the listDiscovery has not run since the resource was created, or the service was not selected during Azure account setupTrigger a manual rediscovery from Settings → Monitoring → Probes → Azure, or edit the account to enable the missing service
Metrics showing no dataThe resource may have had no activity during the selected time window, or polling has not completed yetWait for the next polling cycle or reduce the selected time range to a period with known activity
Availability dropping below 100%The storage service experienced a transient error or outage during the monitored periodReview the metric timeline to identify when the drop occurred and cross-reference with Azure Service Health
Alarms not triggering as expectedAlarm thresholds may not be configured for this resourceGo to Settings and add or review alarm triggers
Table Entity Count growing unexpectedlyAn application may be inserting data without a retention or cleanup policyReview the Tables section to identify the affected table and check application insert logic
High latency on table queriesLarge numbers of small transactions or poorly partitioned data can increase query latencyReview Table Count and Transactions metrics together to identify heavy query patterns
