title: What resource-types are supported by the Azure Insights API?
body: <p>I'm using the Azure Insights Rest API to export monitoring data for several different resources in my Azure account. </p>
  
  <p>I'm using a call to this endpoint to obtain the data:</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/{resource-group-name}/providers/{resource-provider-namespace}/{resource-type}/{resource-name}/metrics
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm obtaining a list of all resources in my subscription by calling:</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://management.azure.com/{subscription-id}/resources
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this call returns a json with a lot of entries. Every entry has got a property "type", that describes the type of the resource. For example this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"type": "Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My problem is that only a few of those types support the reading of monitoring data via the API I use. Can anyone tell me, where to get information, which resources-types are supported by the API?</p>
