Azure Provider Details Test
A resource provider is a service that supplies the resources you can deploy and manage through the Resource Manager. Each resource provider offers operations for working with the resources that are deployed. By default, most of the resource providers are automatically registered with the subscription. Alternately, the administrator can also register a resource provider to a subscription. If the resource providers are not available or are not registered with the subscription, the resources corresponding to those resource providers may not be accessible. To avoid this, it is necessary to keep track on the count of resource provides that were registered and those that were not registered. The Azure Provider Details test helps administrators in this regard!
For each subscription on Microsoft Azure cloud, this test reports the total number of resource providers available, the count of the resource providers that are registered and are not registered. In addition, this test also reports the number of resource providers that are unregistered from the subscription. This way, administrators can figure out the resource providers that were unregistered from the subscription and can proactively hide the resources that cannot be accessed without the corresponding resource provider.
Target of the Test: Microsoft Azure
Agent deploying the test: A remote agent
Output of the test: One set of results for each subscription on the target Microsoft Azure being monitored
Parameters | Description |
---|---|
Test Period |
How often should the test be executed. |
Host |
The host for which the test is to be configured. |
Tenant ID |
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 Pre-Requisites for Monitoring Microsoft Azure (ARM). |
Client ID and Client Password |
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 client secret value. To know more about determining the Application ID and the key refer to Broad Steps to Determine the Tenant ID and the Access Token. Specify the Application ID of the created Web Application in the Client ID text box and the client secret value in the Client Password text box. |
Detailed Diagnosis |
To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:
