Azure blob: how many read/write operations?

Question

I do not understand how to find out my stats on azure blob storage. Egress and ingress show data in volume, not in reads/writes and I do not think this is necessarily data operations, because there is no way something is downloading 20 gigs of data a day from the blob storage (shows this much egress). Pricing, on the other hand, is all read-write operations.

I want to find out the usage statistics on my blob storage so I could adapt the storage strategy, put the relevant stuff in hot/cold storage, archive things appropriately. I need practical data for analysis.

The metrics in portal are mostly error counts.

Azure Storage Analytics provides more detailed metrics (aggregated per minute and hour) about all services (e.g. Blob, File, Table and Queue) in the storage account usage, such as:

• user;GetBlob -> TotalRequests, TotalBillableRequests, TotalIngress, TotalEgress, Availability, etc.;
