Microsoft Corporation Azure Monitor Query Metrics Client Library for Python
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. This is a production-stable (1.0.0), actively maintained official Azure SDK library with no known vulnerabilities, permissive licensing, and low install friction. Install it if you need to query Azure Monitor metrics programmatically from Python; it is the standard way to do so within the Azure SDK ecosystem.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later and Azure subscription with Monitoring Reader role authorization to read metrics data at the subscription level.
- Low install friction with three lightweight runtime dependencies (isodate, azure-core, typing-extensions).
- Active maintenance status with recent release history and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
This is the official Azure SDK client library for querying metrics from Azure Monitor's data platform. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous APIs to retrieve time-series numerical data from Azure resources. The library handles authentication via Azure credential objects and supports batch queries across multiple resources in a single request, making it efficient for monitoring and alerting workflows.
The package wraps the Azure Monitor Metrics Data Plane API and returns structured response objects containing metric values organized by resource, metric name, and time series. It requires Python 3.9 or later, appropriate Azure role-based access, and knowledge of Azure resource IDs and metric namespaces. Async usage requires an additional transport library.
Use it for
- Retrieve metrics from multiple Azure resources to build custom dashboards or reports
- Programmatically fetch historical metric data for troubleshooting performance issues or capacity planning
- Integrate Azure Monitor metrics into alerting systems that need to query multiple resources in batch
- Build monitoring applications that aggregate metrics across resource groups
- Export Azure resource metrics to external analytics or data warehousing systems
