Enable Service Principal Azure

Create a service principal on Azure so KloudMate can authenticate to Azure Monitor. Set it up once, then use it in the auto or manual integration.

1. Navigate to Microsoft Entra ID and register a new app.

After successful registration, you can get the client_id and tenent_id on the overview page.

2. Now need to create a secret for client. To create secret go to Manage ➝ Certificates & secrets ➝ New client secret.

From this step, the secret value needs to be copied.

3. In step 3 the service principal needs access to subscription.

To allow access please navigate to subscription ➝ IAM ➝ Add Role assignment ➝ select the role “Reader” ➝ Assign access to “User, group, or service principal” ➝ Select member and enter service principal name ➝ create a role.

Once access is given the Open telemetry collector needs to be configured accordingly.
