When trying to monitor the active connections limit (5000), we tried looking into the ActiveConnections metric on the azure portal. But it doesn't seem to make any sense at all.

If we set it to minimum active connections, it's reporting 1 all of the time, maximum does seem to fluctuate. Looking at the screenshot of the insights screen, you can see at the right side 0 connections opened or close while the active connections does change.

How should I interpret these graphs.

  • The minimum value of 1 suggests that at least one persistent connection is always maintained likely by background service, monitoring agent, or idle client. The maximum value reflects highest number of active connections during the sampling window. This fluctuation is expected as users or services connect and disconnect over time. Use shorter sampling intervals to capture transient connection events. Combine metrics with Application Insights logs or diagnostic logs for deeper visibility. Consider setting alerts on the ActiveConnections metric if you're nearing the 5000 connection limit. Commented Aug 19 at 22:33
