SquaredUp Cloud (Azure Monitor track)
Optional post-GA deliverable
The SquaredUp Cloud workspace is planned after the Azure Local Azure Monitor Health Model reaches general availability. Its source will live in src/azure-local/azure-monitor/squaredup/.
SquaredUp Cloud is a SaaS dashboard platform with 80+ integrations. For this project, two plugins are relevant:
| Plugin | Data streams | Ready-made dashboards |
|---|---|---|
| Azure plugin | 55 (Azure Monitor metrics, KQL, Cost, Sentinel, Resource Graph, Log Analytics, App Insights, Service Health) | 44 |
| SCOM plugin | 3 (Alerts, Health, Metrics) | 8 |
Why SquaredUp Cloud for this project
- Cross-subscription aggregation — surface Azure Local health across multiple subscriptions in a single dashboard (critical for multi-site deployments).
- KQL tile — render the
kql/health-score.kqlWAF-pattern health score query as a live tile without building a full Azure Monitor Workbook. - Hybrid SCOM + Azure Monitor pane — combine SCOM health states (via the SCOM plugin) with Azure Monitor signal data (via the Azure plugin) in one dashboard. This is the key value-add for organizations running both Azure Local delivery surfaces in parallel.
- Free tier — 2 users, 3 data sources, 10 monitors, unlimited dashboards. Sufficient for a single-cluster proof-of-concept.
Planned workspace
A SquaredUp Cloud workspace export will ship in src/azure-local/azure-monitor/squaredup/ covering:
| Dashboard | Contents |
|---|---|
| Azure Local — Cluster Health | Health model entity state, KQL health score tile, Resource Health feed |
| Azure Local — Azure-side Resources | L3 ARM resource states across subscriptions (Key Vault, SPN expiry, RBAC drift) |
| Azure Local — Hybrid View | SCOM track health (via SCOM plugin) + Azure Monitor signals side-by-side |
| Azure Local — Alerts | Azure Monitor alert rules from alerts.bicep, grouped by severity |
