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 since each Azure subscription used to have 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, and then click Settings > Credential. The Azure Credential page appears.
  2. In the Azure Credential page, click Add. The Configure Credentialwizard appears.

  3. Enter or select the appropriate information for the Azure credential as described in the following table.
