Azure Integration
Introduction
Middleware’s Azure Integration connects to Microsoft Azure accounts to enable useres to monitor and visualize key performance metrics across a range of Azure services. This integration currently supports Virtual Machine Scale Sets, Blob Storage, and Load Balancers.
With this integration, users can configure which services to monitor, collect detailed metrics, and visualize the data using Middleware's built-in dashboard tools, or build custom alerts and dashboards of their own.
Integration Setup
Azure Configuration
To integrate Azure with Middleware, you must first complete the following steps in the Azure Portal:
1 Create an App Registration
Navigate to App Registrations from Azure Services or use the search box.
Click New Registration.
Enter "Middleware Auth" as the name for the App Registration.
Next, Select "Accounts in this organizational directory only (Middleware - Single tenant)" in the Supported account types section.
Click Register.
2 Assign 'Monitoring Reader' permissions to the Application
To assign the 'Monitoring Reader' permissions, navigate to Subscriptions for a single subscription level, or go to Management Groups to assign permission across multiple subscriptions. Assigning permissions at the Management Group level provides access to any new subscriptions added later.
Select the subscription you wish to monitor.
Go to Access control (IAM) in the Subscription menu and select Add role assignment from Add menu.
In the Role tab, select Monitoring Reader and click Next.
In the Members tab, click Select members, choose the Middleware Auth and click Review + assign.
Middleware Configuration
After completing the App Registration, configure the integration on the Middleware platform using details from the App Registration:
1 Copy App Registration Details
After assigning the 'Monitoring Reader' permissions, copy the Subscription ID.
Copy Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID from the Middleware Auth App Registration.
Paste these three values into the relevant fields on the Azure Integration form in Middleware.
To generate Client Secret, go to Manage > Certificates and secrets.
Click New client secret, enter "middlewareClientSecret" as the Description and select an expiration range.
After adding the Client Secret, copy the Value and paste it into the Client Secret field in Middleware.
2 Configuring Metric Collection
Once details are saved, proceed to the Configure Metric Collection step. Here, you can select which Azure integrations to monitor.
Once configured, click Save Configuration to finalize setup and proceed to the Dashboard Builder to find the relevant dashboard. Newly configured integrations take a few minutes to begin displaying data.
Supported Azure Integrations
We currently collect metrics from the following Azure Integrations: Azure VM Scale Set, Azure Blob Storage, and Azure Load Balancer. Additional Azure integrations are continuously added and will be released upon completion.
For specific needs, please contact our support team for prioritization.
