You can use the inventory tree in VMware Aria Operations to browse and select objects for an adapter instance of Microsoft Azure. The inventory tree shows a hierarchical arrangement of the objects by cloud account and by region.

Prerequisites

Configure an adapter instance of Microsoft Azure. For more information, see Add a Cloud Account for Microsoft Azure.
Note: When you monitor large-scaled Azure end-points (>1000 objects), change the default collection cycle to 15 minutes so that there is enough time to collect data for all the objects from a scaled end-point.

Procedure

  1. From the left menu, click Inventory. From the Inventory detailed view panel, click Integrations.
  2. Expand Microsoft Azure and select either of the following options:
    • To view the objects by region, click Azure Resources By Region.
    • To view the objects by cloud account, click Azure Resources By Subscription.
  3. To view the object information by region, region per cloud account, subregion, cloud account, or resource group, select either of the following options:
    • If you are viewing objects by region, select a region. You can click the Azure Region per Subscription tab to view the object information for the region per cloud account. You can also expand the inventory tree for each region and select a subregion.
    • If you are viewing objects by cloud account, select a cloud account. You can also expand the inventory tree for each cloud account and select a resource group.
  4. To view information about each object, select either of the following options:
    • If you are viewing objects by region, expand the inventory tree for a subregion and select an object.
    • If you are viewing objects by cloud account, select an object under a cloud account or expand the inventory tree for a resource group and select an object.
    You can expand the inventory tree for an SQL Server object and select an SQL Database object to view information about the database object.
