metric

In the Ultra Transcenders books

2V0-17.25

Each book explains metric in context, with comparison tables and the common traps.

Terms in this definition

• OVER

  Gives a T-SQL window function its window: PARTITION BY, ORDER BY and, if wanted, a ROWS or RANGE frame. Rankings and running totals can then be worked out while every row is kept.

• VCF Operations

  VCF's console for running the fleet. It covers alerting, monitoring, capacity, reporting, log analysis and licensing alongside fleet management of identity, passwords, certificates and lifecycle.

• CPU

  The processor that runs a VM's workload (central processing unit); while B-series VMs run under their baseline, they accumulate CPU credits.

• total_tokens

  The usage field that sums prompt_tokens and completion_tokens, for example 37 + 86 = 123. Billing applies to both kinds of token.

• Exclusions

  Scopes taken out of a policy assignment; they can only narrow its coverage, never widen it.

Related terms

• Autoscale

  Azure Monitor capability that adds or removes instances on a schedule or once a metric rule has been true for its full duration. The maximum instance count merely sets a ceiling and never triggers scaling itself.

• Azure OpenAI AvailabilityRate

  Metric for Azure OpenAI calculated as total calls less server errors, divided by total calls; it reveals unavailability on the service side, meaning HTTP 5xx responses.

• Backlogged Input Events

  Stream Analytics metric showing how many received input events are still waiting to be processed. If it never drops back to zero, the job is falling behind and should be given more streaming units.

• Business Attribute Profile

  Expresses business goals and drivers as measurable requirements, each with a metric and a target in business language, instead of generic labels such as confidentiality, integrity and availability. It comes from the SABSA method.

• ChecksFailedPercent

  One of the Connection Monitor metrics, together with RoundTripTimeMs and Test Result, on which Azure Monitor metric alerts can trigger, for instance when a site-to-site VPN goes down.

• Connections Active

  Online endpoint metric in Azure Monitor showing how many client TCP connections are open at once.

• Cooldown

  How long autoscale waits after scaling before any rule may act again, 5 minutes by default; this differs from the period over which the metric is evaluated.

• Data Path Availability

  Metric reporting frontend (VIP) availability on a Standard Load Balancer; check it first when a VM behind the load balancer appears to be down.
