Azure Metric vs Performance counters show different values
Azure Metric vs Performance counters Return values of network traffic are totally off, regardless of time frame between portal, log analytic query perf and InsightsMetrics. See screen off excel. ...
I've run into something similar in the past. My understanding is that performance counters return data from the OS perspective whereas metrics are how Azure sees usage from a host perspective. I would rely on the performance counter data in Log Analytics over metric data.
- Correctly.
According to the tests and metrics collected on the network infrastucture is log analytic value is more exact/ identical to what ststistic is provide. Azure metric is more or less general information, how system behave that is in my opinion.
