Add Azure Files Storage Accounts

Prior to adding Azure Files storage accounts to the Activity Monitor, the prerequisites for the target environment must be met. See the Azure Files Requirements topic for additional information.

Follow the steps to add Azure Files storage accounts to be monitored.

  1. On the Monitored Hosts & Services page, select Add Host/Service.
  2. Select the agent that will be monitoring Azure Files, and then select Next.
  3. Select Azure Files, specify the tenant’s domain name, and then select Next.
  4. On the Connection page, specify the Tenant ID (if it was not resolved automatically), Client ID, and Client Secret—values
    copied in the previous steps during application registration.
  5. Select Connect.
    The button will verify the connection to Azure, enumerate all storage accounts, and retrieve their settings visible to the registered application.
note

If the product fails to enumerate storage accounts, the RBAC roles were either assigned incorrectly or have not yet become effective. Retry later.

  1. On the Storage Accounts page, select the storage accounts to be monitored, and then select Next.
  2. Complete the wizard by selecting operations and output settings.
tip

You can use this wizard multiple times to add newly created storage accounts—already added accounts will be ignored.

  1. Check the status of the added storage accounts on the Monitored Hosts & Services page.
    Address any audit setting misconfigurations or missing RBAC roles.
