Azure Storage Analytics Viewer

Tool usage:


Azure storage analytics is a very useful feature. It can help to isolate and debug Storage related issue. However, the metrics and log is not quite visible/readable for users.

Here I wrote a storage analytics viewer, it can make the analytics data eaiser to fetch and view. Features listed below:
  • Retrive the log data based on given time range and save to Excel format for further mining.
  • Show the metrics data in chart, so that it can be more readable
  • Some simple filter option.
The source code can be downloaded from Github
