    • Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure properties control the behavior of the connector.

    Connection properties

    These connection properties are available for the Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure hardware connections.
    Note:
    To open the Service Graph Connection Properties [sn_cmdb_int_util_service_graph_connection_property] table for the connector, navigate to All > Service Graph Connectors > Azure > Connections, and select the hardware connection name. The connection properties are displayed in the Service Graph Connection Properties related list.

    Property Description

    vmGraphQuery

    		 Specify the resource graph query on which the Run command should be executed. By default, the Run command is executed on all running VMs.
    • Type: string
    • Default value: empty

    filter_databricks

    		 This property is used to filter Azure Databricks CIs using the Vendor tag provided by Azure.

    Azure Databricks virtual machines (VMs), Network Interface Controllers (NICs), and storage volumes (collectively called Azure Databricks CIs) have the value of the Vendor tag set to Databricks.

    Starting with the Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure 1.14.0 version, all Azure Databricks CIs that have the value of the Vendor tag set to Databricks are filtered out from discovery during a full data load.

    During delta loads, set the value of the insert_short_lived_vms custom system property to false to filter Azure Databricks CIs that are marked as retired during discovery (see Custom system properties). Additionally, for each Hardware connection, set the filter_databricks connection property to true.

    • Type: true | false
    • Default value: false
    last_full_load_date Enable this property to run a delta data load on Hardware connections. When this property is deactivated, the next scheduled import automatically runs a full data load.​
    Note:
    Enable the SG - Azure Hardware Clear Last success imports time scheduled import job and set the run frequency to schedule regular full data loads. The default run frequency is daily. When this scheduled import job is enabled, the last_full_load_date property is deactivated.

    lookback_time_in_days

    		 This property is used for record removal. Time in days in which the sys_object_source records are queried for the deletion of CIs. The value is automatically updated to 15 after the initial run.

    Set the value of this property to empty to include all the older records populated by SG-Azure as removal candidates for the Integration Commons record removal API.

    Note:
    Do not modify this property if the value is empty.
    • Type: integer
