When creating a new policy for Azure cloud metrics, create a .json script to determine the metrics to be monitored. The format for the script appears below, followed by a table explaining the script contents.  

    {
      "namespace": "Microsoft.Network/loadBalancers",
      "metrics": [
              "AllocatedSnatPorts",
              "ByteCount",
              "DipAvailability",
              "PacketCount",
              "SnatConnectionCount",
              "SYNCount",
              "UsedSnatPorts",
              "VipAvailability"
      ],
      "time_grain": "PT1M"
    }

Resources and their metrics are retrievable from the [Supported metrics for Azure resources](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/reference/supported-metrics/microsoft-compute-virtualmachines-metrics) page.
