title: Azure Functions memory / consumption unit usage
body: <p>Is it possible to view memory usage / how many consumption units you are presently/historically using for Azure Functions? </p>
  
  <p>I'm currently using the consumption plan for a function which handles messages from a service bus queue. Each message takes around 5 seconds to process and there are usually several hundred messages / second to be handled.</p>
  
  <p>My fear is simply that at some point I will starting seeing outofmemoryexceptions with no forewarning, though it would also be helpful for me to get an idea of costing before being billed.</p>
  
  <p>I've looked through the portal and all I've found is the success count and pulse (which never seems to report any data for my function. Though the graphs are drawn - they are always empty.)</p>
  
  <p>There is also this blog post:</p>

  <p>..which essentially says that you do not need to specify your memory cap anymore and providing your usage is within 1.5GB &amp; your processing is under the 5 minute timeout then life is good. Knowing how much room I have would be reassuring though!</p>
