We’re always looking for ways to improve the management and operational experiences of DocumentDB, Azure’s NoSQL document database service.  Today we’re happy to announce several new storage metrics are available in the Azure preview portal and programmatically via the Microsoft Azure Insights Library. Specifically, we’ve added the following perf metrics:

• Data Size
• Index Size
• Storage Capacity
• Available Capacity

You can easily add these metrics to your portal experience by clicking the edit hyperlink on an existing DocumentDB metrics part or by right-clicking on an existing DocumentDB metrics part, then clicking “Edit Chart.”

Choose the metrics and the timeframe in which you are interested and click Save.

You can also click an existing chart for an expanded view of the selected metrics.

We’ll continue to expand the set of available DocumentDB performance metrics. Please leave a comment below with your biggest takeaway from the content above, we want to hear your perspective and feedback; it helps us continue to provide relevant information and features. If you need any help or have questions or feedback, please reach out to us on the developer forums on stack overflow or schedule a 1:1 chat with the DocumentDB engineering team.
