Azure vm-monitoring script for many subscriptions

L0 Member

Has someone used azure-vm-monitoring script to query VM-information from more than one subscription?
The case is that we have many subscriptions and willing state is to use single instance of vm-monitoring script to query all the VM's from the all subscriptions and push that info to firewalls.

 

What are the options?

You can use the Azure plugin on Panorama to monitor up to 100 subscriptions. Please make sure to  review the planning checklist and think through your device groups carefully, the details are here.

One instance of the VM Monitoring script can monitor one Azure subscription, and it must target a set of firewalls in a device group. Even when you deploy multiple instances of the script to monitor mutliple Azure subscriptions, you can’t have multiple script instances targeting the same DG (or set of firewalls). The reason is that you may have unexpected results with which tags are registered to the firewalls in the event that you have the same IP address across subscriptions.  There can also be a race condition between multiple instances of the script  as each script attempts to determine the delta of tags between what is on the firewall and what is in the azure subscription.

 

 

Ok, so then it seems that's not the solution for us. The case is basically that we have Hub&Spoke setup in Azure with several subscriptions and the firewalls are in that HUB and should be updated with VM info from all the peered VNETs in other subscriptions. ...it was working so nice with single subscription. Would it be the same with Panorama, so it can query VM's only from single subscription?
