Connect to your Azure Account with Splunk Add on for Microsoft Azure

Connect between the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Azure and your Azure account so that you can ingest your Microsoft Azure data into the Splunk platform. You can configure this connection using Splunk Web on your data collection node (recommended), or using the configuration files. To create an Azure App account, you need a Global Administrator to grant you the permissions.

Before you complete these steps, follow the directions in Create an Azure AD App Registration to prepare your Microsoft account for this integration.

Connect to your account using Splunk Web

Access Splunk Web on the node of your Splunk platform installation that collects data for this add-on.

1. Launch the add-on, then click Configuration.
2. Click Account > Add.
3. Enter a friendly Name for the account.
4. Enter the Client ID and Client Secret.
5. Click Add.

Connect to your account using configuration files

If you do not have access to Splunk Web on your data collection node, you can configure the connection to your account using the configuration files.

1. Create or open $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/TA-MS-AAD/local/ta_ms_aad_account.conf.
2. Add the following stanza:

[<account_stanza_name>]
username = <value>
password = <value>
