## What the agent can do

Every tool the Azure Monitor server annotates as read-only. The official Azure server narrowed to the monitor namespace and started with --read-only.

## Connect in three steps

1. **Mint a read-only credential in Azure Monitor.** Create a dedicated user or token that can only read. The official Azure server narrowed to the monitor namespace and started with --read-only.
2. **Add it in the Triagic portal.** Integrations, then Add shared data source, then Azure Monitor. Fill in: Tenant ID (required): Entra ID → App registrations → your app → Directory (tenant) ID.; Client ID (required): The same app registration's Application (client) ID.; Client secret (required): Certificates & secrets → New client secret. These expire. Note the date.; Client certificate path (required): The certificate you uploaded under Certificates & secrets → Certificates. PEM or PFX; a PEM must contain the private key as well as the certificate. Only a PEM can be pasted. A PFX is binary, so give it as a path. Path on each machine running Triagic, or paste the file itself.; Subscription ID (required): The subscription to query. Grant the service principal Monitoring Reader on it, and Log Analytics Reader on the workspaces.
3. **Let a desktop pick it up.** Saving validates the shape of what you typed. The first desktop app to sync starts Azure Monitor locally and reports running or degraded with the error text.

## FAQ

**Can Triagic change anything in Azure Monitor?**
No. The official Azure server narrowed to the monitor namespace and started with --read-only. Give it a read-only credential as well, so the guarantee does not rest on one layer.

**What do I need to connect Azure Monitor?**
Tenant ID, Client ID, Client secret, Client certificate path, Subscription ID. The desktop app on a member's machine starts the connection; the portal never holds a live process.

**Does Azure Monitor cost extra?**
No. Every connector is included in the seat price. Start a 14-day trial without a card.
