Live Monitoring Billable Network Out for Current Day
This was some really helpful insight, thank you! Particularly this part:
> However, do take note that the network chart on the Azure VM Overview only displays network traffic that will be billed. It does not include inter-virtual network traffic.
You are half right with me looking to "identify how much data has gone in and out from your VMs for the current day" however I also want to be seeing only the billable data within that constraint so the VM Overview stuff ticks that box from what I gather.
Next is to work out how to get this information from the API (so any tips on that greatly appreciated, otherwise I'll poke at end-points to see what I can get).
Thanks again!
Actually you can export the data without using API because as part of https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/vm/vminsights-overview, all the metrics would be sent to Azure Log Analytics Workspace (LAW) and there are several https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/logs/logs-data-export?tabs=portal in LAW. E.g. Exporting data to an Azure Storage Account or Azure Event Hubs and etc.
Below is the illustration of one of the data export options workflow for your reference.
You can explore the various data export options in the link I have provided and let me know if that has what you are looking for.
Cheers!
