How to Discover Microsoft Azure Topology by WebServices

This task describes how to discover Microsoft Azure components using HTTP Protocol. This discovery process enables you to discover information about resource groups, virtual machines, networks, storage, and storage accounts with information about subscriptions and tenants.

Note Virtual Machine (classic) cannot be discovered, because Microsoft recommends that most new deployments use the Resource Manager model.

This task contains the following steps:

Prerequisites – Set up protocol credentials

Microsoft Azure discovery uses the HTTP Protocol.

Retrieve the CLIENT ID and keys from Microsoft Azure as the Username and Password of HTTP protocol to configure the credential. For details, see How to Authenticate using Azure Active Directory.

For credential information, see Supported Protocols.
Configure the URI endpoint
1. Retrieve the Microsoft Azure tenant_id. For details, see How to Authenticate using Azure Active Directory.
2. Edit UriEndpointConfiguration.xml.
  1. Go to Data Flow Management > Adapter Management > Resources pane.
  2. Click the Find resource button, enter UriEndpointConfiguration.xml in the Name field, and then click the Find Next button.
  3. In UriEndpointConfiguration.xml, set the proper Data Flow Probe name on which the trigger UriEndpoint runs and set the url and type as follows:
    
    <dataflowprobe name="<Data Flow Probe name>"> <uri-endpoint> <url>https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant_id></url>
    <type>azure</type>
    </uri-endpoint> </dataflowprobe>
Run the discovery
Run the following jobs in the following order:
1. Manual UriEndpoint Discovery
2. Azure by WebServices
For details on running jobs, refer to "Module/Job-Based Discovery" in the Universal CMDB Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Online Help.
