Estimating usage

This article describes how to quickly gather some basic sizing information around Azure CDR. This information can be used by Vectra sales teams to help estimate service costs.

Introduction

This knowledge base article describes how to collect a summary of Azure resources grouped by resource type using the current Azure portal experience. Vectra requires a count of Azure resources by resource type across one or more subscriptions in order to estimate pricing. The steps below explain how to generate this information and export it as a CSV file using Azure Resource Graph. The exported CSV will contain one row per Azure resource type with a corresponding count. This file can be provided directly to the Vectra sales or support team.

Requirements

• Access to the Azure Portal

• Permissions to view resources across the relevant subscriptions

Steps to Follow

• Log into the Azure portal.

• In the top search bar, search for and the select All Resources.

• Ensure the Subscription filter includes all relevant subscriptions.

  • Leave Resource Group, Type, and Location set to All.

• From the top command bar, select Open query. This will open the Azure Resource Graph Explorer.

• Click New query to clear any existing query.

• Paste in the following to generate a summary of resource types, ordered by count.

Resources
