Microsoft Azure is an embedded adapter in which each adapter instance has diagnostic dashboards and collects metrics from Microsoft Azure. You can add a cloud account to configure an adapter instance in VMware Aria Operations. VMware Aria Operations collects data from Microsoft Azure and supports both standard/commercial and Azure GovCloud subscriptions. It covers multiple services and regions. You can also add application metrics and other custom metrics from your Azure services and use them in dashboards, alerts and reports.
Prerequisites
- If Microsoft Azure is deactivated, activate it in VMware Aria Operations. For more information, see the The Repository Tab.
- Generate a client secret in the Microsoft Azure portal that you can use in this configuration. For more information, see Generate a Client Secret.
