Create Azure Credentials

You can monitor workloads across multiple Azure subscriptions within one monitoring domain. All the deployed GigaVUE fabric components are shared among many Azure subscriptions to reduce the cost. Earlier, each Azure subscription carried a set of GigaVUE fabric components.

  • After launching GigaVUE‑FM in Azure, the Managed Identity authentication credential is automatically added to the Azure Credential page as the default credential.
  • You can only add the Application ID with Client Secret authentication credentials to the Azure Credential page.

To create Azure credentials,

  1. Go to Inventory > VIRTUAL > Azure.

  2. Select Settings > Credential.

  3. In the Azure Credential page, select Add.

    The Configure Credentialwizard appears.

  4. Enter or select the appropriate information for the Azure credential:

    1. Name: An alias used to identify the Azure credential.

    2. Authentication Type:

      Application ID with Client Secret: Connection with Azure with a service principal. Enter the values for the following fields.
