Default Parameters for AzrVmStatusTest

This test auto-discovers the Azure subscriptions in a virtual environment and for each subscription, this test monitors the VMs that were deployed through the Azure Resource Manager and reports the numerical statistics of the VMs that were registered, added, removed, powered on and powered off etc.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the AzrVmStatusTest test.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the TENANT ID text box, specify the Directory ID of the Azure Active Directory that is associated with the subscription of the target Microsoft Azure. To know how to determine the Directory ID, refer to the Determining the Tenant ID of the target Microsoft Azure of the Monitoring Microsoft Azure document.

• The eG agent communicates with the target Microsoft Azure using JAVA API calls. To collect the required metrics, the eG agent requires an Access token in the form of an Application ID and the key value. To know more about determining the Application ID and the key refer to the Broad Steps to Determine the Access Token section of the Monitoring Microsoft Azure document. Specify the Application ID of the created Web Application in the CLIENT ID text box and the key value in the CLIENT PASSWORD text box.

• Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
