Synchronize Server Resources in MS Azure​

Overview

QueryPie supports integration with Microsoft Azure for server registration and management. By synchronizing resources from Azure, you can register and manage servers within QueryPie, grant access permissions to users and groups, and configure policies for the synchronized servers.

Registering Azure Integration in QueryPie

1. Navigate to the Administrator > Servers > Connection Management > Cloud Providers menu.

2. Click the Create Provider button in the upper right corner.

3. Name: Enter a name to distinguish the provider.

4. Cloud Provider: Select Microsoft Azure.

5. Tenant ID: Enter the Tenant ID for the resources to be synchronized.

6. If you want to synchronize resources from a specific region and zone, check the Use Region and Zone option and select the desired Region and Zone.

7. Subscription ID: Enter the Subscription ID.

8. Credential: Enter the necessary credential information. Currently, only the Client Secret method is supported.

   1. The Client Secret method allows for manual synchronization only. Click the Synchronize button on the details page, enter the Client Secret ID and Client Secret Value, and perform a one-time synchronization.

9. Search Filter: Use this option to fetch a list of resource types you want to synchronize.

   1. The search filter operates similarly to AWS search methods, allowing you to use values such as names and tags for filtering.

      1. Enter the Key value → Select the search condition → Enter the Value

   2. For more detailed usage instructions, refer to the User Guide for Linux Instances (AWS).

10. Replication Frequency: Choose the synchronization method.

    • Manual: A method where synchronization is performed manually only when desired.

    • Scheduling: A method that synchronizes resources through periodic scheduling. Cron expressions are provided.

11. Port: Allow you to specify the default ports of the servers to be synchronized when importing servers. This applies only during the initial synchronization.
