Discovery

Step 1. Task definition

  • Select the group where agents will be created. The group ID must be greater than 0; All cannot be used.

Step 2. Azure base

  • Azure credentials: selects an Azure credential from the Pandora FMS credential store.
  • Custom Resource Group: limits discovery to one Resource Group when enabled. It is disabled by default.
  • Resource group: exact Resource Group name. It is shown when Custom Resource Group is enabled and does not accept regular expressions.

Step 3. Advanced options

  • Storage account names: allows you to specify one or more complete Storage Account names separated by ;. Matching is exact and case-insensitive. If left empty, all accounts are discovered.
  • Create one agent per Storage Account: enabled creates one agent per account; disabled sends all modules to Target agent.
  • Target agent: agent used when per-account creation is disabled. The default value is Azure Storage.
  • Agent name prefix: prefix used for per-account agents. The default value is Azure Storage .
  • Agent autodisable mode: enabled creates agents with agent_mode=2; disabled uses agent_mode=1.
  • Agent interval: interval assigned to generated agents. The default is 5 minutes.
  • Enable entities file re-scan interval: retains the account cache until the selected re-scan interval is reached.
  • Entities re-scan interval: interval before rebuilding the cache. It is shown only when the previous token is enabled and defaults to 1 day.
  • Request timeout: timeout for each Azure request. The default is 30 seconds.
  • Azure management endpoint: optional endpoint for sovereign or custom clouds. Empty uses https://management.azure.com.
  • Microsoft login endpoint: optional endpoint for sovereign or custom clouds. Empty uses https://login.microsoftonline.com.

Step 4. Metrics and module filters

  • Storage account metrics: enables general storage-account metrics.
  • Blob service metrics: enables Blob service metrics.
  • File service metrics: enables File service metrics.
  • File share metrics: enables per-file-share metrics. It is shown only when File service metrics is enabled.
  • Queue service metrics: enables Queue service metrics.
  • Table service metrics: enables Table service metrics.
  • Advanced container metrics: checks whether the ContainerLevelCapacityMetrics rule is enabled in Azure and generates individual used capacity and blob count modules for each container. It also generates the capacity percentage when Blob service metrics is enabled. It does not create additional agents and is disabled by default.
  • Container regexp: optional regular expression applied only to container names retrieved through Advanced container metrics. If left empty, all containers are monitored. It does not affect general Blob service metrics or the Container Count module.
  • Modules allow regexp: one regular expression per line. Only modules that match at least one expression are allowed.
  • Modules deny regexp: one regular expression per line. Matching modules are excluded.
