The plugin is distributed as a compiled binary that already contains all the required dependencies, so it does not require installing Python or additional libraries on the server where it runs.
An Azure subscription with Azure Load Balancer resources that can be queried by the plugin is required.
Azure credentials through a Service Principal with read permissions over the subscription or over the resource group to be monitored are required.
The Service Principal must be able to list network resources and query Azure Monitor metrics.
In test environments, the Mock Azure API URL field can be used to point to a mock container that simulates Azure Load Balancer responses.
