azure-mcp-observability

azure-mcp-observability is a skill for Claude Code from WYRE-AI/msp-claude-plugins. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,505 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only Azure monitoring and diagnostics guide covering metrics, Log Analytics queries, alert states, platform health, AppLens detectors, and Advisor recommendations. Log Analytics is Azure's service for searching collected logs with queries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect metrics and logs, review alerts, diagnose degraded resources, and find Azure Advisor recommendations.
Why use it?
It helps investigate Azure problems from health, monitoring, logs, and recommendation data in a consistent order.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

azure-mcp-observability scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Azure Observability & Diagnostics

This skill covers the monitoring, diagnostics, and health side of the azure-mcp connector: the monitor, resourcehealth, applens, and advisor namespaces. All four are read-only — they observe and report on Azure, they never change it.

Tool names follow the Azure MCP Server's namespace convention (azmcp / azure_mcp prefixes, e.g. tools grouped under monitor, resourcehealth, applens, advisor). Describe and invoke them by capability — the connector exposes one or more tools per namespace.

Anti-triggers

  • Estimating a price or checking quota headroom — use azure-mcp-cost-and-capacity. Advisor's Cost recommendations do belong here; a meter rate or a usage limit does not.
  • Application logs held outside Azure — KQL reaches Log Analytics workspaces only. Better Stack log search is betterstack-logging.
  • Microsoft 365 sign-in, mailbox, or licensing signals — unless they are ingested into a workspace, use microsoft-graph-querying or cipp-security.
  • Alerting an MSP NOC rather than Azure — an Azure Monitor alert rule is not the RMM alert queue (atera, ncentral) or an uptime incident (betterstack-incidents).

Namespace surface

monitor — Azure Monitor

Azure Monitor is the workhorse. Capabilities:

  • Metrics — query platform and custom metric series for a resource (CPU, memory, request count, latency, throttling, etc.) over a time window.
  • Log Analytics / KQL — run Kusto Query Language queries against a Log Analytics workspace. This is how you reach application traces, AzureDiagnostics, AzureActivity, sign-in logs, and any custom tables.
  • Alerts — list configured alert rules and their current fired/resolved state.

KQL queries should be scoped tightly — always include a where TimeGenerated > ago(...) bound and a column projection so results stay small and fast.

resourcehealth — Resource Health

Reports the platform-reported availability of an Azure resource: Available, Degraded, Unavailable, or Unknown, plus the reason (platform-initiated, customer-initiated, or unplanned) and any active health events on the subscription. This is the fastest "is it Azure's fault" check.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
